How to appeal the order?

​

The legislation provides for various forms of appeal by servicemen against illegal orders issued against them:

  • sending written inquiries or personal appeals to officials, military administration bodies, administrative bodies of the Law Enforcement Service,

  • appeal to pre-trial investigation bodies and other state bodies

  • appeal to the administrative court for jurisdiction.

The appropriate way to protect the rights of a serviceman depends on the specific circumstances of the situation and the contested order itself. In case of doubt - we advise you to seek advice and legal assistance from the specialists of our Podilskyi Legal Center.
