If your objection in Rijswijk is declared inadmissible, this means that it is not substantively assessed. This is often due to non-compliance with formal rules.
What does inadmissibility mean?
An objection that is inadmissible is not assessed on its merits by the administrative authority in Rijswijk. It is rejected on the basis of procedural errors, without examining the validity of your complaint.
Possible reasons for inadmissibility
| Reason | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Filed too late | Objection after the 6-week period |
| No decision | It does not concern an official decision subject to objection |
| No interest | You have no direct interest in the decision |
| No motivation | You have not indicated why you are objecting |
| No signature | The objection is not signed |
Chance of remedy
In some cases, you can remedy errors:
- No signature: often you can still add this
- No motivation: sometimes you get time to supplement this
- Too late: only with a valid reason for the delay
What if you are too late due to circumstances?
A late-filed objection can still be accepted in Rijswijk if:
- You did not receive the decision in time
- You were unable to respond due to illness or unforeseen circumstances
- You took action immediately as soon as it was possible
Appeal
If your objection has been declared inadmissible, you can lodge an appeal with the District Court of The Hague. The judge will then examine whether the rejection was justified.
Frequently asked questions about inadmissibility in Rijswijk
What can I do if my objection is inadmissible?
You can institute an appeal and demonstrate that your objection should have been considered.
What if I was too late due to illness?
Explain this and support it with evidence, such as a doctor's statement. The administrative authority determines whether this is acceptable.
Does inadmissible differ from unfounded?
Yes. Inadmissible means no substantive assessment. If unfounded, your objection is assessed but rejected.
