What Is The Period For Filing An Annulment Lawsuit?
Annulment actions are of two types: “general time for filing a lawsuit” and “special time for filing a lawsuit”, depending on the nature of the action:
General Period for Filing an Action: The general period for filing an annulment action is 60 days in the Council of State and administrative courts and 30 days in tax courts. As a rule, the general time limit for filing an annulment action against all administrative acts is the general time limit for filing an action.
Special Period for Filing a Lawsuit: Due to the nature of administrative acts, special laws or special articles may stipulate separate litigation periods other than the general litigation periods. In this case, not the general time limit for filing a lawsuit, but the special time limit for filing a lawsuit stipulated in the law regarding the administrative act shall apply. However, in order for the special time for filing a lawsuit to apply, the special time for filing a lawsuit must be clearly indicated in the administrative act. In cases where the special time for filing a lawsuit is not clearly indicated in the administrative act, an annulment action may be filed against that administrative act within the general time limits for filing a lawsuit.
