The administrative courts rule on complaints:
- against the decision of an administrative authority due to unlawfulness (decision complaint)
- against the exercise of direct administrative command and coercive power due to unlawfulness (measure complaint)
- due to the failure of an administrative authority to fulfill its decision-making duty (default complaint)
In addition to these constitutionally immediate competencies arising from Article 130 (1) of the Federal Constitutional Law (B-VG), certain “other competencies” of the administrative courts can be provided for. This includes decisions on complaints regarding the unlawfulness of behavior of a principal in matters of public service.
