Before addressing the competent administrative litigation court, the person who considers themselves harmed in a right or legitimate interest by a unilateral administrative act must request the issuing public authority, within 30 days from the date of communication of the act, to revoke it, in whole or in part. The complaint may equally be addressed to the superior hierarchical body, if it exists.

The person harmed in a right recognized by law or in a legitimate interest by a unilateral administrative act, dissatisfied with the response received to the prior complaint addressed to the issuing public authority or if no response was received within the period provided by art. 7 para. (4), may notify the competent administrative litigation court to request the annulment, in whole or in part, of the act, compensation for the damage caused, and, if applicable, reparations for moral damages. Also, one who considers themselves harmed in a right recognized by law, by failure to resolve within the term or by unjustified refusal to resolve the request, may address the administrative litigation court.
