You should make the appeal within 30 days after you were informed of the decision. This day is the seventh day after the decision was sent to you by post, or the third day after it was sent to you electronically. You must always make an appeal in writing. You can use your own words.
You should say
- which decision you want to appeal against
- why you think the decision is against the law or its contents are wrong
- what parts of the decision you want to change and why.
Include your name, mailing address, home municipality, telephone number and e-mail address, if you have one. If you make your appeal on paper, it must be signed by you or your agent. If you make your appeal electronically, you need not sign it.
You must attach to the appeal
- the decision that you are appealing against, either the original decision or a copy
- the date on which you were informed of the decision
- other documents related to your appeal.
If you are appealing on behalf of another person, you should attach to the appeal a power of attorney given by that person or other explanation of your right to act on behalf of that person, for example an extract from the register of guardianship matters. A solicitor or a public legal aid attorney does not usually need to show a power of attorney.
Send the appeal to the administrative court's registry by mail, e-mail or fax, or take the documents to the registry yourself during office hours.
