For noting deadlines for appeals against administrative decisions

Individual decisions based on the Genetic Engineering Act can generally be challenged with an appeal. For this reason, approval decisions or other official orders contain instructions on legal remedies at the end of the notice. The decisions can then be challenged within one month – depending on the country, either by filing an objection or directly with a lawsuit. It is important to note that this is a one-month deadline, not a four-week deadline. Accordingly, the project manager must determine exactly when the official decision was served on them. If this is March 6, for example, they should assume, to be on the safe side, that they submitted their appeal to the appeal authority also named in the notice by April 6. Otherwise, they run the risk of their appeal being rejected for lack of admissibility, and the decision against them becoming final and binding.
