What Is The Trial Procedure Of Regional Administrative Courts?
Regional administrative courts generally conduct appeals and trials in accordance with written proceedings (Administrative Courts Law, Article 1/2).
In administrative proceedings, the review is generally conducted based on the documents. After an administrative case is filed, the regional administrative court may request any information and documents it deems necessary for the case from the relevant authorities or parties, even if the parties do not request it.
Since proceedings in regional administrative courts are conducted based on documents, there is no method such as hearing witnesses or taking statements. However, after all information and documents have been collected, an investigation and expert examination may be conducted.
In appeals proceedings before regional administrative courts, interim decisions regarding the request for information and documents necessary for the resolution of the case and the granting of additional time may be made by the president of the chamber, the president of the court, or the member to whom the file has been assigned, acting alone.
The regional administrative court issues its final decision in a panel of three after all deficiencies in the file have been completed.
