Letter of AppealText version

In the letter of appeal, the appellant shall indicate to the administrative court

  • in what respects amendment of the decision is sought (the whole decision or part of it);
  • the amendments demanded;
  • the grounds on which the challenge is based.

The letter of appeal should be drafted with care. The contents of the letter of appeal may decide the extent to which the administrative court will review the matter. The administrative court does not normally have the right to review a matter more extensively than what is requested by the appellant. Clearly and precisely stated requests promote the hearing of the matter and contribute to reaching a correct end result.
