Administration is governed by a general right of appeal. A decision of an authority finally deciding a matter can as a rule be appealed. If a decision is open to appeal, the authority must append appeal instructions to the decision. The instructions contain a time limit for appealing and information on which authority the appeal shall be submitted to. An appeal made in compliance with the appeal instructions is always considered to have been correctly made.

If an authority has not appended appeal instructions to its decision, queries as to the reason for this should be addressed to the authority.
