The competent authority shall submit the appeal, together with the case file, to the appeal authority within 15 days of the date of receipt of the appeal.

The superior authority shall decide on the appeal within 15 days of the date on which the appeal was submitted by the obligated body. The time limit for deciding on an administrative appeal is 15 working days from the date of receipt of the administrative appeal by the obligated body. This time limit cannot be extended.

In the event of a judicial review of a decision on an appeal following an action brought under a specific statutory provision, the court shall examine whether there are grounds for refusing the request. If there are no grounds for refusing the request, the court shall set aside the decision on the appeal and the obliged body’s decision to refuse the request, and shall order the obliged body to provide the requested information.
