What is an Administrative Appeal?
An administrative appeal is a system designed to provide citizens with prompt and straightforward relief from infringements of rights and interests caused by any illegal or unjust dispositions by administrative authorities including the exercises or non-exercise of public authority.
Administrative appeals are advantageous because they are free of charge, procedurally simple, and handled promptly.

General Administrative Appeals
Administrative appeals differ from civil petitions, administrative litigation, and court trials in the following ways.
When a person seeks to challenge an administrative disposition by an agency, three main procedures are available: Civil petitions, administrative litigation, and administrative appeals.
While each case should follow the most appropriate procedure, administrative appeals generally carry stronger binding legal effect on administrative agencies than civil petitions, which merely result in non-binding decisions.
Compared with administrative litigation, which usually requires court fees and is limited to reviewing legality of an administrative disposition, administrative appeals are faster, simpler, and cost-free. They also assess fairness and appropriateness in addition to legality, thereby providing broader relief and serving as an efficient mechanism for protecting citizens’ rights and interests.
