How the calculator works under Article 289 of the Code of Administrative Offences
Article 289 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses sets the basic rule: a complaint against a decision in an administrative-offense case may be filed within 10 days from its issuance.
For automatically recorded road-safety resolutions, road transport safety resolutions (photography, filming, or video recording), and certain parking resolutions, the appeal period is also 10 days from the date the resolution enters into force.
The tool provides a reference and does not independently verify service, when the decision became final, official non-working days, or other procedural details of a particular case.
Calculation methodology
Methodology for calculating the deadline to appeal a ruling under the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses
Select the scenario under Article 289 of the Code of Administrative Offences: general or special for camera enforcement/parking.
Use the baseline date: the date the decision was issued or the date it entered into force.
Add 10 calendar days and move a Saturday or Sunday to Monday.
We do not automatically determine when service occurred, when the decision became final, or whether there are grounds to renew a time limit.
Example
Calculation example
The ruling in the administrative-offence case in Lviv was issued on April 5, 2026.
- Scenario: general resolution
- Base date: 05.04.2026
- Period: 10 days
Estimated last day to file a complaint: April 15, 2026.
For automated enforcement, parking, and other special categories, the start date may differ.
What to check in the documents
- The ruling, its date, and how it was received.
- Does the case concern camera enforcement, parking or another special category.
- Proof of service, entry into force, and records of the incident.
- Grounds for renewing the period if the complaint is filed late.
Frequently asked questions
Which date should I enter in the calculator?
This depends on the scenario. For the general category, enter the date the order was issued. For automated recording, certain vehicle categories, and parking, use the date the order became final.
Why is there a separate scenario for camera enforcement and parking?
Because Article 289 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses expressly sets a different start for these categories: the date the resolution enters into force, not the date it was issued.
Does the calculator count only working days?
No. The calculation uses calendar days. The only automatic adjustment is when the final date falls on a Saturday or Sunday.
What to do if the time limit has already expired?
You can assess whether to file an application to renew the deadline, but the competent authority or court decides based on the circumstances and evidence.
Is this a final legal opinion?
No. This is a preliminary self-check indicator. Before filing a complaint, review all documents and procedural details of your case.
