In Thailand, administrative litigation addresses disputes arising from government decisions, inaction, or administrative contracts. Individuals or organizations can seek judicial review when an administrative agency or official acts unlawfully, fails to act, or violates regulations. The Administrative Court of Thailand oversees these cases, ensuring that state authorities perform their duties lawfully and fairly.
According to the Act on Establishment of Administrative Courts and Administrative Court Procedure, B.E. 2542 (Section 42):
“Any person aggrieved, or likely to be aggrieved, by an act or omission of an administrative agency or State official, or who has a dispute under an administrative contract, may file a case with the Administrative Courts to seek redress or termination of the dispute.”
Administrative cases may only proceed after any existing grievance procedures are followed or when responses from authorities are unreasonably delayed or absent within the statutory timeframe.
Filing an administrative lawsuit requires careful compliance with Section 45. Key requirements include:
Statute of Limitations: Cases must generally be filed within 90 days from the date the issue was known or should have been known, or 90 days from the submission of a written request to the agency that receives no satisfactory response (Section 49).
If dissatisfied with an Administrative Court ruling, an appeal may be lodged under Section 66/11. Grounds for appeal are limited and typically involve:
Appeals must be submitted to the court that issued the judgment within 30 days.
