Who may cut the periods and required documents set in the relevant statutes, or change procedures and application methods, when the civil petition processing standards table is drawn up and announced?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In practice material, we read the publicly announced civil petition processing standards table and the notice drawing it up, any record of the consultation with the heads of the relevant administrative agencies, and the statutes the table measures itself against, since a reduction or change must be read against what those statutes still provide.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading keeps every condition of the covered paragraph together: the Minister of the Interior and Safety, at the time of drawing up and announcing the standards table, and only where simplification of civil petitions is judged necessary, may, after consulting the heads of the relevant administrative agencies, temporarily reduce the periods and required documents set in the relevant statutes or the like, or change the procedures and the method of application.
Another reading notes the limits the provision itself draws: the power reaches only what is set in the relevant statutes or the like, and only until those statutes are amended, while the provision leaves open what the consultation with agency heads must cover and what makes simplification 'necessary'.
Your judgment
Which statutory instruments fall within the 'relevant statutes or the like', and what in the file shows that simplification of the civil petition was necessary for the reduction made?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to change the actor, the conditions or the temporary reach of the power, or if an official decision or practice record settles what the consultation with agency heads must cover.
