Art. 56 Law on Municipalities (LCom)

1 As long as they cannot be subject to an appeal based on the law on political rights, decisions emanating from a municipal body are subject to objection and appeal in accordance with the Code of Administrative Procedure.

2 Furthermore, the voters of the municipality have the standing to appeal against decisions that affect the general interests of the municipality (appeal in municipal matters). The appeal must be filed within thirty days from the notification of the decision. The grounds for appeal are those provided for in Article 122, letters a and b, of the Code of Administrative Procedure. The provisions of the Code of Administrative Procedure apply to the remainder.

3 When the dispute concerns a decision of the municipal assembly or the general council, the objection procedure is not available, the appeal period starts on the day following the meeting, and the municipal council represents the municipality in the proceedings.
