Before you can appeal a state institution’s decision in administrative offences proceedings to the court, you must first follow the regular complaints procedure.
Initial decision
Your case was examined by a state institution which is responsible for the type of violation you are charged with. If you were found guilty, the state institution would have issued a decision and imposed a penalty.
Appeal to a higher official
If you disagree and want to appeal this decision, you must first appeal to a higher authority. That might be a higher official or department within that same state institution or a institution of second instance. You must follow the complaints procedure and time limits mentioned in the decision.
Appeal before court
Where you still disagree with the decision of the higher official or department, you can appeal it before an administrative court in the administrative offences proceedings.
example If you are charged with a violation of traffic regulations, your case will initially be examined by the police who may decide to give you a fine. If you do not agree with the fine, you can appeal it to the chief of that police department. The decision by the police must indicate, in writing, where and how much time you have to appeal. If, after that decision you still disagree, you can appeal to an administrative court.
