Submit an appeal

You must pay court fees to file an appeal. If the court rules in your favor, these costs will be refunded. You will receive written confirmation of receipt.

You can lodge an objection against many decisions made by the municipality. The municipality will decide on your objection. If you disagree with that decision, you can appeal. The decision you receive from the municipality will state where you can lodge your appeal. This is usually the court.

You will often receive an invitation to a court hearing. During the hearing, you can explain verbally why you disagree with the decision on your objection. You may also have your lawyer or someone you authorize do this for you.

The Requirements filing an appeal are:

• You disagree with a decision on an objection made by the municipality or
• You disagree with a decision made by the municipality and you had previously submitted an opinion against the draft decision. This usually concerns more complex decisions about permits. For example, an environmental permit for a national monument.

Your appeal must be submitted to the court within six weeks. These six weeks commence from the date of dispatch of the municipal decision on your objection.

If you disagree with the judge's ruling, you can lodge an appeal within six weeks. The judge's ruling will tell you where you can lodge your appeal.
