The authority will check your application
If you submit an application for re-examination of the case, enforcement of the decision will be suspended. This rule shall not apply if:
1) the decision is immediately enforceable (authority may decide so itself or at your request in relation to any decision which can be appealed against, if this is necessary for instance to protect human health or life),
2) the decision is immediately enforceable under the law (e.g. a decision issued by the state sanitary inspector as a result of an inspection that revealed breaches of hygiene and health requirements).
The decision will also be implemented prior to the expiry of the time-limit for filing an application to re-examine the case if its contents are in line with the requests of all parties or if all the parties waived the right to a re-examination of the case.
The authority which will handle the case may, in justified cases, suspend the immediate enforcement of the decision.
