Act on Establishment of and Procedure for Administrative Courts
พระราชบัญญัติจัดตั้งศาลปกครองและวิธีพิจารณาคดีปกครอง · B.E. 2542 (1999)
The Act on Establishment of Administrative Courts B.E. 2542 (1999) created the Thai administrative court system separate from the courts of justice. The Central Administrative Court and provincial Administrative Courts hear disputes involving state action; the Supreme Administrative Court is the final appeal. Proceedings use inquisitorial procedure.
The summary above is a plain-English educational paraphrase of Section 49 of the Act on Establishment of and Procedure for Administrative Courts. It is not an authoritative translation. For the binding Thai text, consult the Royal Gazette or the Office of the Council of State. Educational use only — not a substitute for advice from a Thai-qualified lawyer.
