## About This Service

A regulatory fine is, as a rule, issued in the form of an administrative-legal act, and the procedure for appealing it is established by the General Administrative Code of Georgia. This page rests on five articles of that code: Article 177 explains the right of appeal, Article 180 the time limit, Article 184 the suspension of the appealed act, Article 188 the possibility of amending or annulling the act despite the complaint, and Article 191 the withdrawal of the complaint. The appeal of a fine operates inside this general framework, and the precise deadlines and procedural decisions are governed by exactly these norms. Knowing this framework is a practical instrument for the addressee of a fine: it decides when to act, what may be demanded, and which decision is not subject to appeal at all — and these are exactly the boundaries that parties most often get wrong in practice.

### Which acts can be appealed?

Administrative-legal acts issued by an administrative organ; a violated term counts as refusal and is appealable too.

### What happens upon registration of the complaint?

The act's operation is suspended from the moment of registration; the exceptions are defined by law.

### May the complaint be withdrawn before decision?

Yes, in writing — orally at an oral hearing as well; but where state or public interests are at risk, examination continues.

### Who decides on continuation of the act?

The issuing organ or its superior; that decision may be appealed in court.
