Administrative court appeal
What is included and what is not promised
When the administrative route is exhausted without success, the courts remain. The deadline is two months from notification, and what is most often lost is not the case: it is the deadline.
What it includes: review of the administrative file and of the grounds of challenge; filing the appeal and the claim; applying for interim measures where enforcement causes irreparable harm. What it does not include: it does not include court fees or court agent disbursements, provisioned separately and itemised in the quote.

Frequently asked questions
Must I exhaust the administrative route?
Almost always yes. We check first: appealing too early is also inadmissible.
Can I stop enforcement while I appeal?
With interim measures, sometimes. They are sought on filing and the harm has to be evidenced.
Does it work for administrative penalties?
Yes, and also for refusals of licences, grants or immigration permits.
