Section One Administrative Cases
Article (1)
An administrative case shall be filed by the plaintiff with the President of the Board of
Grievances or his designee. It shall contain particulars about the plaintiff, defendant, subject-matter of
the case, and the date of filing the claim against the administrative body if such a claim is of the type
that must be demanded before filing the case, in accordance with Article Two of these Rules, and the
outcome of the claim; or the date of filing the grievance against the decision contested if it is of the
type against which a grievance must be filed with the administration body prior to filing a case, in
accordance with Article Three of these Rules, as well as the outcome thereof. The President of the
Board shall refer the case to the competent circuit within whose jurisdiction the head office of the
defendant is located, or to the competent circuit within whose jurisdiction the branch of the defendant
is located, if the plaintiff so requests, and the case is related to such branch.
The competent circuit may seek the assistance of a specialist to prepare the case under its
supervision.

to the competent circuit. The administrative body must decide such claims within ninety days
from the date of filing. As for rights arising before the effectiveness of these Rules, the period
specified for claiming them shall commence on the date of the effectiveness hereof.
2. If the decision of the administrative body was to reject the claim within the period specified in
the previous paragraph, or if such period lapses without deciding upon the claim, the claim
shall not be filed with the Board except after filing a grievance with the General Board of
Civil Service within sixty days from the date of notice of the decision of rejection of the claim
or from the lapse of the period specified in the previous paragraph without deciding thereon.
The decision of rejection of the claim by the administrative body shall state the reasons for
the rejection. The General Board of Civil Service shall decide on the grievance within sixty
days from the date of its filing.
3. If the decision of the General Board of Civil Service was to reject the grievance, or the period
specified in the previous paragraph lapses without deciding on the grievance, the case may be
filed with the Board of Grievances within ninety days from the date of the notice of rejection,
upon the lapse of the sixty days stipulated without deciding on the grievance, or within the
