Y Abogados

Administrative Litigation Lawyer in Spain

At yabogados, we represent individuals, self-employed professionals, companies, professionals and entities in disputes against decisions and actions taken by the Public Administration. If you are looking for an administrative litigation lawyer, need to file a judicial review appeal or want to assess the viability of bringing a claim against an administrative act, we may be able to assist.

We act against administrative acts, decisions, penalties, inactivity, refusals by administrative silence, administrative action without due legal procedure and other administrative measures adopted by ministries, autonomous communities, island councils, provincial councils, town halls, regulatory bodies, universities, health services and other public sector entities.

We analyse both the prior administrative stage and the subsequent administrative litigation proceedings, including deadlines, jurisdiction, standing, evidence, interim measures and procedural strategy.

What is an administrative litigation appeal?

An administrative litigation appeal is the judicial route used to challenge the actions of the Administration when a decision, regulation, inactivity or material action not in accordance with the law harms your rights or legitimate interests.

Not all administrative matters reach court under the same conditions. In some cases it is necessary to have first filed an administrative appeal; in others, the problem arises from a final decision, a penalty, a refusal, an exclusion from a competitive examination process, an expulsion order, compensation in compulsory acquisition proceedings or even a final judgment that only allows extraordinary review.

Other administrative litigation matters we also assess

When should you contact an administrative litigation lawyer?

It is advisable to assess the case as early as possible when you have received an administrative decision, a penalty, a refusal, an exclusion from a selection procedure, a demolition order, a tax assessment, a recovery demand, an immigration decision or any other administrative action that may adversely affect you.

It is also important to act quickly when the problem is not an express decision, but rather administrative silence, the Administration’s failure to respond, inactivity in carrying out what is required or administrative action without due legal procedure.
