What three forms of administrative challenge does this provision set out, and what does each ask the court to do?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In a practice file, we read the administrative disposition or act being challenged and the agency that issued it, since each type turns on whether an agency act exists, has effect, or was simply not taken, and the papers already filed in court show which of these the record presents.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes the division at face value: aggrieved administrative litigation is either a cancellation action seeking to cancel or change an unlawful disposition or similar act of an administrative agency, an action confirming the validity or existence of such a disposition or similar act, or an action confirming that an agency's inaction is unlawful.
Another reading notes that the provision only classifies these three forms; it does not say what counts as a 'disposition or similar act', what makes an inaction an inaction, or when an inaction becomes unlawful, so the file itself must show which category the facts raise.
Your judgment
Where an agency simply did not answer a request within its own period, does the record support an action on inaction, or only a claim that an act exists?
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 add or merge a form of aggrieved action, or if a court decision defines what counts as a disposition or similar act or as an agency's inaction.
