Decision map
Keep the question bounded.
- Define defendant, act and court routeIdentify the responsible administrative body, challenged act or failure, claimant standing and the court with territorial and subject-matter jurisdiction.
- Protect filing and interim-relief positionsCalculate limitation from the correct notice or knowledge event and document enforcement effects, evidence access and any basis to suspend implementation.
- Build the legality challengeOrganize claims around authority, procedure, evidence and legal application, with relief matched to revocation, performance, confirmation or compensation.
