SUBMISSION OF CLAIM STATEMENTS TO COURT

On 1 February 2004, the Administrative Process Law (APL) entered into force. Administrative proceedings in court shall take place in accordance with this Law. There have been three administrative courts in Latvia. The first level court is the district court; the second level is the regional court and the third level is the Supreme Court.

Administrative matters shall be adjudicated on the merits by a court of first instance, but pursuant to a complaint of participants in an administrative proceeding regarding a judgment of such court, also by a court of second instance in accordance with appeal procedures. Participants in an administrative proceeding may appeal from a judgment of a court of second instance in accordance with cassation procedures.

A State fee in the amount of ten lati shall be paid in regard to the submission of an application regarding initiation of a matter in court. A State fee in the amount of five lati shall be paid in regard to an appellate complaint. No payment of State fees is required in regard to cassation complaints or ancillary complaints.
