Decree 695/2024: Extension of terms for appeals
On August 5, 2024, Decree 695/2024 came into force, granting longer timeframes for filing Reconsideration Appeals and Hierarchical Appeals. Specifically:
- Reconsideration Appeal: 20 business days (previously, there were 10 business days to request a review of an administrative decision by the same issuing authority); and
- Hierarchical Appeal: 30 business days (previously, there were 15 business days to appeal a decision to a higher authority).
The primary reason behind this extension is to guarantee greater access to administrative justice and allow individuals and entities affected by administrative decisions more time to defend their rights. By granting longer timeframes, the aim is to ensure that all interested parties can effectively exercise their rights, even in complex cases or when more preparation is required to file the appeal.
