Appeal

Making an appeal and municipal complaint – the tools for residents and parties concerned

Anyone dissatisfied with a decision by a municipal board, municipal committee, division of a board or committee, or an authority representing any of said bodies can appeal the decision in writing. The appeal should be addressed directly to the body responsible for the decision.   

A decision by a city council is appealed to an administrative court with a municipal complaint. 

An appeal and a municipal complaint can be made by a party concerned, that is, by a party affected by the decision or a party whose rights, responsibilities or interests are directly affected by the decision, and by a resident of the municipality.

More information about appealing a decision and making a municipal complaint can be found in Chapter 11 of the Local Government Act.

An administrative complaint can be made by anyone

An administrative complaint refers to a report filed with a senior authority or an authority such as the Chancellor of Justice of the Government or Parliamentary Ombusman stating that there has been a flawed act in the office.

An administrative complaint can be made by any citizen. The format of the complaint is open, and there is no deadline for making the complaint.
