Jogorvoslati

Jogorvoslati is the set of legal remedies available to challenge the validity or effects of a decision or action taken by a public authority, a regulated private body, or, in some contexts, a court. The term describes ways to seek correction, reversal, or redress of harm caused by administrative or judicial decisions. It encompasses both internal, administrative avenues and external, judicial review.

Remedies are typically divided into administrative and judicial channels. Administrative jogorvoslati includes internal reviews, reconsiderations, or administrative appeals (fellebbezés) to a higher authority within the same institution, as well as complaints to independent supervisory bodies or ombudsmen. Judicial jogorvoslati comprises appeals to the courts (also fellebbezés or felülvizsgálat), and, in some systems, judicial review or cassation, challenging the legality, proportionality, or procedure of a decision. Where applicable, specialized remedies such as constitutional complaints may also be available.

Key features of jogorvoslati include defined time limits for filing, specified grounds or arguments, and the possibility of suspending the effect of the original decision while the remedy is pending. Outcomes vary by jurisdiction and case, ranging from annulment or modification of the decision to remand for reconsideration or award of damages or compensation.

Jurisdictional variation is common. Some systems emphasize accessibility and speed, while others stress thorough scrutiny and procedural safeguards. Overall, jogorvoslati serves to protect rights, ensure accountability of public bodies, and provide a structured path to remedy perceived injustices.
