Art. 83 Law on Detention Facilities (LDF)

1 Decisions rendered by the administrative authorities of the Canton pursuant to this law are subject to opposition and then appeal before the Administrative Court; those rendered by other detention authorities are subject to the legal remedies defined by the legislation governing them, particularly by the Swiss Code of Criminal Procedure.

2 Opposition and appeal do not have a suspensive effect and the provisions related to judicial vacations do not apply. A contrary decision by the authority that issued the decision or by the appellate authority, either ex officio or upon request, is reserved. If circumstances justify it, the appellate authority may withdraw the granted suspensive effect at any time or take other provisional measures.

3 Furthermore, in matters of disciplinary measures (Art. 62 et seq.), the opposition procedure does not apply, and the appeal period is five days.

4 Otherwise, the procedure is governed by the Administrative Procedure Code.
