Procedure for submitting a complaint in the case of public authorities.

Appeal to Administrative court

If the institution that has refused to grant access to your requested data is a public authority and you believe that this refusal has resulted in a violation of your right to private life, you can challenge the decision in a regional administrative court, and ask for compensation due to the violation of your right to private life. You can learn more how to prepare your application in the Law on Administrative Proceedings.

The regional administrative court will assess whether the data user has acted lawfully. If the data user has not acted lawfully and it has caused you damage, the court may oblige the involved institution to provide compensation.
