Supreme Court Rules On Administrative Recourse In Bank Resolution Measures

Introduction

Article 146 of the Constitution gives the Supreme Constitutional Court (now the Supreme Court of Cyprus) exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any complaint that a decision, act or omission of any organ, authority or person, exercising any executive or administrative authority, is contrary to the Constitution or law, or is made in excess or abuse of powers vested in such organ, authority or person.

Recourse to the court is available to any person whose legitimate interest (whether personal or as a member of a community) is adversely and directly affected by the decision, act or omission concerned. Application for recourse must be made within 75 days of the date on which the decision or act was published or, if not published and in case of an omission, when it came to the knowledge of the person making the recourse.
