Procedure details
Description
An action before the administrative court can, for example, demand the revocation of an administrative act (action for rescission) or the order to issue an administrative act that has been rejected or omitted (action for enforcement). An action for declaratory judgment or for performance is also possible.
The action can be filed in writing or on the record of the clerk of the court (legal applications office). It is possible to file an action in electronic form, provided that the requirements for this are met (see the relevant website of the administrative courts); however, an action cannot be effectively filed by simple e-mail. In the case of an action for rescission or an action to enforce an obligation, the action must be filed within one month of notification of the notice of objection or - if no preliminary proceedings are conducted - after notification of the administrative act.
In the areas of training and study support law, residential care law, child and youth welfare law, child, youth and family support law, war victims' welfare law, severely disabled persons' law, maintenance advance law, housing benefit law, broadcasting fees law and within the framework of support under the European Social Fund, the person concerned can choose whether they wish to carry out preliminary proceedings before bringing an action for rescission or an action to compel (in the equalization of burdens: the complaint) or whether they wish to bring an action directly (so-called optional objection procedure). In all other areas, an action must be brought immediately; it is not possible to lodge an objection. Which legal remedy against administrative acts is admissible can be found in the information on legal remedies attached to the respective notices.
The jurisdiction of the administrative courts also extends to disputes relating to youth welfare, war victims' welfare, parts of the law on severely disabled persons, education funding and equalization of burdens. Local jurisdiction is generally based on the location of the authority issuing the administrative act, the place of residence of the complainant or the location of the defendant. There are special regulations for civil servants, for disputes under the Asylum Act, local rights and for property matters.
