Frequently asked questions about public and administrative law in Cyprus

Can I challenge a decision made by a government authority?

Yes. Decisions of public authorities can often be challenged where they are unlawful, unreasonable, or made through an unfair process. There are usually strict time limits for bringing a challenge, so early advice is essential. We assess the strength of your case and act quickly to protect your rights.

What is judicial review?

Judicial review is the process by which a court examines whether a public authority acted within its powers and followed a lawful and fair procedure. It focuses on how a decision was made rather than simply whether you disagree with it. We advise on whether your situation is suitable for review and handle the proceedings.

How long do I have to challenge an administrative decision?

Time limits for challenging public decisions are typically short and are counted from when the decision is made or communicated. Missing the deadline can bar your claim entirely. Because of this, you should seek advice as soon as you receive a decision you may want to contest.

Do you advise on public tenders and procurement?

Yes. We advise businesses bidding for public contracts and help challenge unfair or flawed tender procedures. Procurement rules are detailed and deadlines are tight, so preparation matters. We support you before, during, and after the tender process.

How can you help with an administrative or public law matter?

We advise individuals and organisations on challenging public decisions, judicial review, regulatory compliance, and public procurement. Because deadlines are often short, contact us early for a confidential assessment of your options.
