The legal nature of third party objection in administrative proceedings

Abstract

Objection by third parties is the means regulated by legislation for third parties outside the dispute to prevent the effect of the ruling from extending to them, as justice and logic require that there be a way for them to object to the administrative ruling for the purpose of removing the damage that affected or infringed on their rights.
It should be noted that the objection of third parties does not conflict with the nature of administrative lawsuits. Because it aims to protect the principle of legitimacy and raise its status. Despite this, it is a subject of controversy in terms of its legal nature, as the administrative judiciary, along with some jurists, hesitated to recognize it as a method of appeal. Some considered it a special kind of grievance, and some claimed that it represents an implementation dispute, while others saw it as an interference in the dispute. Grounding the appeal in the objection of others requires determining its legal nature and referring it to a specific legal fact or legal origin, and this helps to remove the dispute regarding this appeal. One of the most important results reached in the research is that the objection of third parties has its own nature and is distinguished from other similar means, such as problems or disputes in implementation, the original claim of invalidity, and grievance, and that it is considered an unusual method of appeal, as most jurisprudence holds.
