    Filing an Administrative Court Case

    Challenging a government order, decision or inaction before the Administrative Court.

    Overview

    This guide explains the filing an administrative court case in Thailand's legal system. Understanding each stage helps you know what to expect and how to protect your rights.

    Typical Timeline: Months to a few years depending on complexity

    Process Timeline

    1

    Exhaust internal remedies

    Where the law provides an internal appeal to the agency, pursue it first within the stated deadline.

    2

    File within the time limit

    Lodge the claim at the Administrative Court, generally within 90 days of knowing the disputed act (longer for some categories); state the order challenged and the relief sought.

    3

    Inquisitorial review

    The court gathers evidence itself and may summon officials; a judge-rapporteur prepares the case before the ruling.

    Risks & Considerations
