Legal remedies against grant decisions

This contribution deals with grant procedures in the Czech Republic, in particular with grants from the European Structural and Investment Funds. The main aim of the article is to examine possible legal remedies that can be used by grant applicants in case of adverse decisions. There is no separate legal act dealing solely with grant procedures in the Czech Republic. Therefore, this contribution analyses the relation between Act No. 218/2000 Coll., Budgetary Rules and Act No. 500/2004 Coll., Code of Administrative Procedure, with an emphasis on the amendment to Budgetary Rules which came into effect on 1st January 2018 and brought significant changes to rules governing the grant procedures. This article does not deal with the control of projects implementation nor remedies against sanctions for the breach of budgetary discipline. The methods of description, analysis, comparison and synthesis are used for writing this contribution.
