# Enforcement of Administrative Acts and Enforcement Measures

## The Enforcing Organ and Mandatory Mandating to an Independent Organ

Unless legislation provides otherwise, an individual administrative-legal act is enforced by the administrative organ that issued it. By assignment of the issuing organ, the enforcement may also be carried out by a subordinate or another administrative organ, in which case the provisions of the Code governing mutual assistance between administrative organs apply. Unless otherwise provided by law or by a subordinate act issued on its basis, the organ may delegate the power of enforcement either as a one-time measure or for a fixed term. The right to enforce belongs only to the official on whom the duty of enforcement is imposed by service.

A person carrying out enforcement must carry an identity card confirming the relevant authority and present it at the request of the persons against whom the enforcement is being carried out. This requirement is an important guarantee of the transparency of enforcement: a citizen must be able to understand who, and by what authority, is carrying out an enforcement action against them.

In certain cases the act must be issued through an independent organ — under the rule of mandatory mandating. In particular, a decision on the privatisation of state (municipal) property (an enterprise) is issued through an independent organ if the price exceeds 100 000 GEL. An independent organ may consist of one or more natural or legal persons who possess the relevant qualification and are able to ensure the impartial resolution of the matter. The President of Georgia and the Prime Minister of Georgia are entitled to appoint an independent organ to decide an administrative complaint.

### Within what period does the organ resolve the securing-enforcement issue?

Where an application concerning the securing of enforcement is submitted, the organ resolves the matter within 10 days. The decision is written and bears the character of an individual administrative-legal act.

### What limits apply to a fine as a means of securing enforcement?

The total amount of the fine does not exceed 1000 GEL for a natural person and 5000 GEL for a legal person. For each day of violation or each act of violation the fine does not exceed 50 and 200 GEL respectively, and the minimum amount is 5 GEL.

### When is direct coercion applied?

Only after the act has not been enforced despite the application of the means of securing enforcement provided for by the Code — then the person responsible for enforcement may secure it by direct coercion.

### May a demand connected with enforcement be refused?

Yes, if the demand contradicts an obligation imposed by law or would entail the disclosure of personal data or a state, commercial or professional secret protected by law — unless a subordinate act provides otherwise.

### How is a securing-enforcement decision appealed?

In the manner established by the Code; and where the selected means and the deadline flow directly from the enforced act, the decision may be appealed only together with that act.
