Administrative offence challenges

Challenging a penalty

We check the description of the conduct, the report’s formal requirements, the legal basis for the penalty and any additional measures. We prepare the complaint and evidence applications and represent clients before the competent court.

The challenge deadline, competent court and effect of filing a complaint are determined by the rules governing the particular administrative offence.

Preparing the defence

We separately examine the findings, how the report was prepared and the justification for the penalty. We compare the records with the client’s account, photographs, recordings and other available evidence.

We discuss the objective—annulment of the report or reassessment of the penalty—and prepare supporting arguments. If the decision includes other measures, we assess their consequences and the steps needed separately.

A short chronology is useful for the initial review. Keep the full document and evidence of when you received it, including the envelope or electronic notification.

Which documents are needed for a consultation?

The complete offence report and proof of delivery or notification, together with relevant photographs, recordings or documents. These allow us to assess the penalty and prepare the defence. Do not delay checking the deadline while collecting all the evidence; we can then identify additional records needed.
