Appeal against a Decision

A written appeal can be made against a decision by the Public Works Committee or by any official body under its auspices. The appeal is addressed to the Public Works Committee.

An appeal can be made by an inhabitant of the municipality or an interested party. An interested party is one who the decision is aimed at or one, whose right, duty or interest is directly affected by the decision.

If the City Council has, by virtue of the Section 51 of the Local Government Act, taken a decision made by the Committee, its division or a body under their auspices to process, an appeal made against the decision must be processed in the City Council. More information about this subject is available from the Helsinki City Decision-making pages on the Internet at: www.hel.fi/paatoksenteko.

Appeal against a Decision by the Committee

An appeal against a Committee decision based on a previous appeal is made by filing a municipal appeal to the Helsinki Administrative Court. A municipal appeal on a Committee decision based on a previous appeal can only be made by the person who has filed the first appeal. More information on filing an appeal and a municipal appeal may be found in Chapter 11 of the Local Government Act.

An Appeal on a Street Plan or other Plan Concerning Public Areas

An appeal cannot be filed against a street plan or another plan concerning public areas, but an administrative appeal is filed in Helsinki Administrative Court.

Procurement Issues

In procurement issues, anyone who has participated in an invitation to tender can file an appeal with the Market Court.
