訴願法

People, and local self-government bodies or other public legal persons, may file an administrative appeal against certain administrative dispositions when they believe the disposition is unlawful or improper and their rights or interests are harmed, unless another law provides otherwise.

受中央或地方機關委託行使公權力的團體或個人，以自己名義作成行政處分時，訴願應向原委託機關提起。

If a civil servant’s unlawful or improper act may give rise to criminal or administrative liability, the final deciding authority must, after deciding, refer the matter to the competent authority to handle according to law.

本法自公布日施行；修正條文的施行日期由行政院以命令決定。

If the original administrative agency is abolished or reorganized, the successor agency is treated as the original agency, and an appeal is filed to the successor agency or its direct superior agency.

當機關對管轄權有爭議或無法辨明時，由共同的直接上級機關決定；若無管轄權的機關作成訴願決定，其上級機關應撤銷並命移送有管轄權機關。

This article says the original administrative disposition agency is determined by the name used when the disposition is carried out, unless a higher authority made the disposition under its statutory power and had a lower authority execute it; in that case, the higher authority is treated as the original agency.

訴願通常要在行政處分送達或公告期滿後 30 日內提出；利害關係人則自知悉時起算，但超過 3 年不得提起。

If an appellant missed the appeal deadline because of a natural disaster or another cause not attributable to them, they may apply in writing to restore the period within 10 days after the cause ends, but not if the delay has already exceeded one year.

If an appellant does not live in the place where the appeal authority is located, travel time is deducted when calculating the statutory period. This does not apply if the appellant’s agent lives there and can carry out the required act within the period.

Period calculation follows the Civil Code unless another law provides otherwise.

自然人、法人、非法人團體，以及其他受行政處分的相對人和利害關係人，可以提起訴願。

能獨立以法律行為負義務的人，有訴願能力。

人民在機關對依法申請的案件逾法定期間不作為、且認為權益受損時，可以提起訴願。

People without appeal capacity must act through their legal representative, and local self-governing bodies, legal persons, and unincorporated associations must act through their representative or manager in an appeal.

Two or more persons may jointly file an administrative appeal against the same factual basis of an administrative disposition, if the appeal is under the jurisdiction of the same agency.

共同提起訴願時，可以選出1至3名代表人；被選定的代表人要在最初提起訴願時，向受理機關提出書面證明。

共同提起訴願而未選定代表人時，受理訴願機關可以限期通知其選定；逾期仍不選定的，機關可以依職權指定代表人。

A selected or appointed representative must act for all appellants in the appeal, and an appeal may not be withdrawn unless all appellants give written consent.

Representatives may be changed, added, or reduced after selection or designation, but the change is not effective unless written notice is given to the petition-accepting agency.

If there are two or more representatives, each may separately act for the joint appellant in appeal proceedings.

代表人的代表權，不會因其他共同訴願人死亡、喪失行為能力或法定代理變更而消滅。

與訴願人有相同利害關係的人，經受理訴願機關允許，可以為訴願人利益參加訴願；機關必要時也可以通知其參加。若訴願決定撤銷或變更原處分且會影響第三人權益，機關必須在作成決定前通知第三人參與並表示意見。

申請參加訴願要用書面向受理訴願機關提出；參加訴願的書面還要載明本訴願與訴願人、參加人與本訴願的利害關係，以及參加訴願的陳述。

This provision defines what counts as an administrative disposition.

通知參加訴願時，要載明訴願內容、通知理由和不參加的法律效果，並送達參加人、抄知訴願人。

訴願決定對參加人也有效；經通知可參加或被允許參加但未參加的人，亦同。

訴願人或參加人可以委任代理人進行訴願，但每一人委任的訴願代理人不得超過三人。

Certain listed people may act as an appeal agent, and the appeal authority may forbid the third-to-fifth category of agents if it thinks they are unsuitable.

訴願代理人第一次進行訴願行為時，必須向受理訴願機關提出委任書。

受委任的訴願代理人，可以就委任事項進行各種訴願行為；但要撤回訴願，必須有特別委任。

When there are two or more appeal agents, each may independently represent the appellant.

If the appellant is present and immediately revokes or corrects it, the appeal agent’s factual statement has no effect.

訴願代理權在訴願人死亡、破產或喪失訴願能力時，不會消滅；在法定代理變更、機關裁撤或改組，以及公司、團體解散或變更組織時，也同樣適用。

訴願委任解除時，訴願人、參加人或訴願代理人應以書面通知受理訴願機關。

This provision sets which authority receives an appeal depending on which administrative disposition is being challenged.

訴願代理人提出解除訴願委任時，從表示解除意思起15日內，仍須為維護訴願人或參加人權利或利益所必要的行為。

訴願人、參加人或訴願代理人可在受理訴願機關許可下，於期日帶輔佐人到場；必要時，機關也可以命其帶輔佐人到場，並可在認為輔佐人不適當時撤銷許可或禁止其繼續輔佐。

If an assistant makes a statement at the hearing/location, the appellant, participant, or appeal agent must immediately revoke or correct it or it will be treated as their own statement.

除非另有規定，受理訴願機關應依職權辦理送達。

送達無訴願能力人時，原則上應向其法定代理人送達；若未陳明法定代理人，得直接向該人送達。法人或非法人團體則應向其代表人或管理人送達；如有二人以上，得只向其中一人送達。

對在中華民國有事務所或營業所的外國法人或團體送達時，應向其在中華民國的代表人或管理人為之；若代表人或管理人有二人以上，得只向其中一人送達。

除非訴願代理人的受送達權限受有限制，送達應向代理人為之；必要時，受理訴願機關也可以直接送達訴願人或參加人本人。

Appeal documents must be served with the required names and addresses noted, and then sent through the postal authority with a service certificate.

受理訴願機關應保存的訴願文書，應由承辦人員編為卷宗。

訴願人、參加人或訴願代理人可以向受理訴願機關請求閱覽、抄錄、影印或攝影卷內文書；也可以預先支付費用，請求取得繕本、影本或節本。

提出對中央或地方機關行政處分的訴願時，應依管轄等級，照前條規定辦理；但法律另有規定且由業務監督決定者，從其規定。

第三人經訴願人同意，或能說明自己有法律上利害關係，並經受理訴願機關許可後，得依前條提出請求。

The appeal-receiving agency must refuse requests for certain appeal-decision materials and other confidential items listed in this provision.

各機關辦理訴願事件時，應設訴願審議委員會；委員組成原則上以具法制專長者為主，且社會公正人士、學者、專家不得少於半數。

訴願決定須經訴願審議委員會會議決議；決議需委員過半數出席，且出席委員過半數同意。

訴願人如果在法定期間內向訴願管轄機關或原行政處分機關表示不服原行政處分，視為已在法定期間內提起訴願；但仍須在30日內補送訴願書。

訴願人要先繕具訴願書，經由原行政處分機關向訴願管轄機關提起訴願。原行政處分機關要先重新審查；若認訴願有理由，可自行撤銷或變更原處分，否則要儘速提出答辯書並送交相關文件，且抄送訴願人。

If a person files an administrative appeal with the receiving appeal agency, that agency must send a copy of the appeal document to the original administrative disposition agency.

For an administrative disposition made jointly by two or more agencies at different affiliations or levels, an appeal must be filed with their common superior authority.

訴願人可以在決定書送達前撤回已提起的訴願；一旦撤回，就不能再就同一訴願重新提起。

If an appeal is mistakenly expressed to the wrong agency, it is treated as filed with the appeal authority from the outset.

If the appeal petition is defective in form but can be corrected, the receiving appeal authority must notify the appellant to fix it within 20 days.

訴願原則上以書面審查決定；必要時，受理訴願機關可以通知訴願人、參加人或利害關係人到指定處所陳述意見。

訴願審議委員會主任委員可以指定委員，聽取訴願人、參加人或利害關係人到場陳述。

受理訴願機關在申請或必要時，可以通知訴願人、參加人及相關人員在指定時間和地點進行言詞辯論。

This provision sets the order of oral debate in a petition appeal hearing and allows a further debate if the first one is incomplete.

受理訴願機關 must conduct investigations and evidence checks, must investigate evidence on request by the appellant or participant (subject to an unnecessary-evidence exception), and must not rely on investigation results to the appellant’s detriment without giving the appellant and participant a chance to comment.

訴願人或參加人可以提出證據書類或證物；如果受理訴願機關限定提出期間，就要在該期間內提出。

受理訴願機關可以依職權或依申請委託鑑定；在特定情況下，訴願人或參加人可請求交付鑑定，機關非有正當理由不得拒絕。

鑑定人應在鑑定書中陳述意見；必要時，受理訴願機關可以請鑑定人到指定地點說明。

在特定情況下，受理訴願機關應讓鑑定人利用鑑定所需資料，且可限制其利用範圍與方法；鑑定人也可請求受理訴願機關調查證據。

If a petitioner or participant disagrees with a procedural disposition made by the appeal-handling authority during the appeal process, they must bring an administrative lawsuit together with the appeal decision.

If an appeal falls into one of several listed procedural defects or inadmissibility situations, it must be dismissed as inadmissible.

If multiple appeals arise from the same or similar factual or legal reasons, the appeal agency may review them together and may decide them together.

訴願無理由時，受理訴願機關應作成駁回決定；涉及地方自治事務的訴願，上級機關只審查原行政處分的合法性。

下級機關依法辦理上級機關委任事件所作的行政處分，視為受委任機關的行政處分；相關訴願可向受委任機關或其直接上級機關提起。

If an appeal is dismissed as late, the original agency or its superior may revoke or change a clearly unlawful or improper administrative disposition, but not if that would seriously harm the public interest or if the beneficiary’s reliance is more worthy of protection. If the beneficiary used fraud, coercion, bribery, false/incomplete statements, or knew or grossly should have known the disposition was unlawful, that reliance is not protected. Protected reliance losses must be compensated, up to the benefit the beneficiary would have received if the disposition had continued.

If an appeal has merit, the appeal-handling agency must revoke the original administrative disposition in whole or part, may change it or send it back for a new disposition, and must not make the outcome worse for the appellant within the disputed scope.

若訴願有理由，受理訴願機關應指定期限，命應作為之機關盡速作成處分；若在作成前，該機關已先作成行政處分，則應認訴願無理由並駁回。

If the appeal authority finds the original administrative disposition unlawful or improper, but cancelling or changing it would seriously harm the public interest, it may dismiss the appeal.

受理訴願機關在作成前條決定時，可以斟酌訴願人因違法或不當處分所受損害，並在決定理由中載明由原行政處分機關與訴願人進行協議。

An appeal decision must be made within three months from the day after the appeal petition is received; if needed, the period may be extended once by up to two months with notice to the appellant and participants.

受理訴願機關在特定法律關係尚未確定前，可以停止訴願程序，並應通知訴願人及參加人。

訴願人死亡或法人因合併消滅時，符合條件的人可以承受其訴願；承受訴願者應在事實發生後30日內向受理訴願機關提出證明文件。

受讓原行政處分所涉權利或利益的人，可以檢具受讓證明文件，向受理訴願機關申請承受訴願。

訴願決定書必須載明指定事項，且正本應在決定後15日內送達訴願人、參加人及原行政處分機關。

由受委辦機關辦理委辦事項所作的行政處分，視為受委辦機關的行政處分；相關訴願依規定向受委辦機關的直接上級機關提出。

訴願決定書應附記；如果不服決定，可在決定書送達次日起二個月內向行政法院提起行政訴訟。

If an administrative lawsuit is filed with the wrong authority because of an incorrect note, that authority must transfer it to the competent administrative court within 10 days and notify the filer.

訴願決定機關若把行政訴訟期間註記錯誤，應通知更正；更正通知送達後，期間重新計算。

提起訴願通常不會停止原行政處分的執行，但在特定情形下，訴願機關、原處分機關或行政法院可以停止執行。

在停止執行原因消失或情事變更時，受理訴願機關或原行政處分機關可以依職權或申請撤銷停止執行；原裁定停止執行的行政法院也可以依聲請撤銷該裁定。

訴願決定確定後，對相關機關有拘束力；就第十條訴願案件，對受委託行使公權力的團體或個人也有拘束力。

If an original administrative disposition is revoked and the original disposing authority must issue a new disposition, it must do so in line with the appeal decision and notify the appeal authority in writing about the handling status.
