Decisions or actions of state institutions may be appealed to the court. Generally there are two stages of appeal in court.
In general, human rights do not provide for a right to appeal in court in all cases and all disputes. However, if Bulgarian law allows you to appeal a lower court’s decision, which it does in the majority of cases, higher courts have to follow the requirements and guarantees of a fair trial.
Stages of appeal:
Appealing a decision or an action of the state institution to the Administrative court.
Decisions taken by state or public institutions may be appealed before the Administrative court.
example If you want to appeal the mayor’s decision to ban a public demonstration, which you have organized, you can do this to the Administrative court.
Appealing a decision of the administrative court.
You can also appeal the decisions and judgments of the Administrative court. In Bulgaria, the majority of decisions and judgements of an administrative court can be appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court. You can appeal the lower court decision if it is null and void, inadmissible or incorrect.
Where the Supreme Administrative Court acts as a court of first instance, its decisions can be appealed to a five-member panel of the same court
