Administrative Law

Annulment and full-remedy actions, administrative fines, disciplinary sanctions and expropriation.

Administrative law governs the relationship between individuals and state institutions. Administrative acts, decisions and actions carried out through public authority are its subject matter. Protecting citizens' rights against the administration is a requirement of the rule of law.

Where an administrative act is erroneous or unlawful, one may apply to the administrative courts for its annulment or for compensation of the resulting damage. Such cases require knowledge of public law and careful preparation.

Boybey Law & Consultancy represents clients in annulment actions, full-remedy actions, civil servant disciplinary sanctions, administrative fines, cancellation of licences and permits, and expropriation disputes, developing effective strategies in disputes with public authorities.

Frequently asked questions

What is the time limit for challenging an administrative act?

Unless a special period applies, the time limit is sixty days before the administrative courts and thirty days before the tax courts. It generally runs from the written notification of the act.

How do I challenge an administrative fine?

Administrative fines under the Law on Misdemeanours are challenged by applying to the criminal judgeship of peace within fifteen days of notification. Special laws provide different routes for certain fines.

Can compensation be claimed for damage caused by the administration?

A full-remedy action can be filed for damage arising from administrative acts or actions. For administrative actions, an application must first be made to the administration within one year of learning of the action and in any case within five years.
