Haldusotsust

Haldusotsust refers to administrative decisions made by public authorities in Estonia. These decisions are legally binding and impact individuals, businesses, and other entities. The process of making and appealing haldusotsust is governed by Estonian administrative law, primarily the Administrative Procedure Act.

When an administrative authority makes a decision, it must be based on law and follow established procedures. This includes providing clear reasoning for the decision, informing the affected parties of their rights, and offering an opportunity to be heard. Decisions can range from issuing permits and licenses to imposing penalties or making determinations about social benefits.

Individuals or entities who believe a haldusotsust is unlawful or unfair have the right to appeal it. The first step is usually an internal review by the administrative authority that made the decision. If the internal review does not resolve the issue, the appeal can be taken to an administrative court. The court will then examine the legality of the decision. The aim of these review processes is to ensure that administrative actions are fair, lawful, and serve the public interest.
