What is proposed
The reference provision in the Aliens Act will be corrected so that the Helsinki Administrative Court can decide appeals concerning international protection made under an accelerated procedure in a single-judge composition instead of three judges.
What it means
The amendment will streamline and expedite the work of the Helsinki Administrative Court by reducing the need for judicial resources in these cases. It will affect the Administrative Court and asylum seekers who have received a decision under an accelerated procedure, whose appeals will be heard in a single-judge composition as soon as the act enters into force.
