Notes: Data for 50 countries. Graph represents the data in EJD as of August 2015.
In addition to the questions discussed above, Part 3 of the EJD also
provides detailed comparative data on some additional questions,
such as the requirements for filing fees or deposits, the maximum
time available to submit an appeal after the imposition of sanctions,
the requirement for a hearing or a reasoned decision and the types of
remedies available to the body dealing with appeals. Data on these
questions is only available for the 50 countries that allow appeals
against the sanctions imposed by oversight institutions. Summaries of
the data on these questions can be found in the online database but are
not included in this report.
