Administrative & constitutional — Slovakia

vyhláška 655/2004 Z.z. § 11 ods. 3, 4 (lawyer fees) + zák. 71/1992 Zb. (state court fee) + zák. 314/2018 Z. z. o Ústavnom súde (ÚS — out of scope for 71/1992)

The administrative & constitutional group covers three structurally distinct tracks under one umbrella: správne súdnictvo (judicial review of administrative acts under the Správny súdny poriadok, zák. 162/2015 Z. z. — SSP), the mass social-insurance / social-services caseload (§ 4 zákona č. 71/1992 Zb. exemption track), and proceedings before the Ústavný súd Slovenskej republiky (constitutional review under zák. č. 314/2018 Z. z.). Each track has its own § 11 fraction on the lawyer side — 1/6, 1/13 and 1/4 of the výpočtový základSlovakia's annual “calculation base” (§ 1 Vyhl. 655/2004) — a yearly scalar derived from the average wage that fixes the per-act tariff amounts.Glossary → respectively — and its own state-fee regime: a flat Sadzobník fee for administrative actions, statutory exemption for social matters, and a complete statute-level divergence for the Constitutional Court (which does not fall under zák. 71/1992 at all).

01 — § 11 ods. 4

Administrative judiciary — SSP (1/6)

Judicial review of an administrative act before the krajský súd, the Najvyšší správny súd, or the specialised správny senát — the classic správna žaloba (administrative-action) under § 177 ff. SSP, plus žaloba proti nečinnosti (against inaction) and the rare žaloba o ochrane pred neoprávneným zásahom (against unlawful interference). The lawyer-fee base rate is set by § 11 ods. 4 of the vyhláška: per act, 1/6 of the výpočtový základ — the highest § 11 fraction outside the Constitutional Court (because the SSP caseload is procedurally demanding and the underlying matter is rarely valuable in money).

You file it whenever an act, decision, or inaction of a verejná správa body adversely affects the client’s rights and the úrad’s own opravné prostriedky have been exhausted (or are inapplicable). The procedure is dominated by written submissions: kasačná sťažnosť to the NSS, when available, is a separate act billed at the same § 11 ods. 4 rate.

Lawyer fee — § 11 ods. 4. Per act, 1/6 of the výpočtový základ — for 2026: €1 586 ÷ 6 ≈ €264,33 per act. State court fee — Sadzobník (správne súdnictvo). Flat €70 for the správna žaloba (first instance). The kasačná sťažnosť to the NSS doubles the fee to €140 (a stage modifier deferred to v1+, not yet modelled in the calculator).

02 — § 11 ods. 4

Mass social-insurance / social-services matters (1/13)

Individual judicial-review actions in social-insurance matters (dôchodok, invalidný dôchodok, dávky v nezamestnanosti, nemocenské, materské) and social-services matters (peňažné príspevky pri ŤZP, services for the elderly, residential care) — typically against rozhodnutia of the Sociálna poisťovňa, the Ústredie práce, sociálnych vecí a rodiny, or a local municipality. The lawyer-fee base rate is set at 1/13 of the výpočtový základ per act — the same low band as § 11 ods. 1 písm. a) — because the underlying claims are individually small but procedurally identical to one another, so the tariff prevents the lawyer fee from swallowing the social benefit.

You file it whenever a social-benefit rozhodnutie has gone the wrong way and the administrative opravné prostriedky are exhausted. The case feeds into the same SSP regime as ordinary správna žaloba, but the state-fee side diverges sharply — see below.

Lawyer fee — § 11 ods. 4. Per act, 1/13 of the výpočtový základ — for 2026: ≈ €122,00 per act. State court fee. The mass social caseload is exempt under § 4 zákona č. 71/1992 Zb. — konania vo veciach sociálneho poistenia a sociálnych služieb sú oslobodené od súdneho poplatku. The Sociálna poisťovňa is exempt under § 4 ods. 2, and individual social-benefit claimants are relieved. The calculator returns zero court fee with the exempting article cited.

03 — § 11 ods. 3

Constitutional Court proceedings (1/4)

Proceedings before the Ústavný súd Slovenskej republiky under zákon č. 314/2018 Z. z. o Ústavnom súde SR — most commonly an ústavná sťažnosť under čl. 127 Ústavy (individual constitutional complaint against a final court decision or an act of verejná moc that violates a fundamental right), but also abstract control (návrh na začatie konania o súlade právnych predpisov, čl. 125), preliminary references on constitutional conformity, election-related petitions and impeachment proceedings. The lawyer-fee base rate is the HIGHEST § 11 fraction in the tariff: 1/4 of the výpočtový základ per act, codified by novela 391/2023 Z. z. (which raised the rate from 1/6 to 1/4 effective 1 January 2024).

You file it whenever an ordinary-court remedy has been exhausted and the impugned decision or act allegedly violates a fundamental right or freedom — within the 2-month preklúzia of § 124 zákona o ÚS. Right of audience before the ÚS requires advokátske zastúpenie (§ 34 ods. 1 zákona o ÚS), making this group structurally lawyer-mediated. Typical proceedings run 3–6 úkonov: the návrh itself (a substantial písomné podanie vo veci samej), the reply to the úrad’s vyjadrenie, a further consultation with the client, and the účasť at the verejné ústne pojednávanie when one is held.

Lawyer fee — § 11 ods. 3. Per act, 1/4 of the výpočtový základ — for 2026: €1 586 ÷ 4 ≈ €396,50 per act. State court fee. Out of scope for zákon č. 71/1992 Zb. — proceedings before the Constitutional Court are governed by zákon č. 314/2018 Z. z. o Ústavnom súde SR (§ 31), which does not levy a súdny poplatokSlovakia's court fee (zák. 71/1992 Zb.) — the state charge to bring a case, typically 6 % of the claim value within a floor and ceiling.Glossary → under the 71/1992 regime. The calculator returns no court-fee figure for this case type and explains the separate-statute reason in the state-fee block — this is one of the canonical lawyer-vs-state divergences the methodology page calls out (a fully-tariffed lawyer side with no 71/1992 court fee).

All lawyer-side amounts are reference valuesA tariff figure that is advisory, not mandatory — a guide to what a fee customarily is, which the lawyer and client remain free to depart from. Every number Tarifo shows is a reference value.Glossary →, not binding floorsA tariff floor a court could once not go below. Several EU jurisdictions abandoned binding minimums after CJEU rulings; where that has happened, the same figures now serve only as reference values.Glossary →. The Slovak advokátska tarifa (vyhl. 655/2004 Z. z.) is the default fee when no fee agreement exists (zmluvná odmena, § 24 zák. 586/2003 Z. z.), and the baseline a court uses to award náhrada trov konania — it does not bind a private lawyer–client agreement. Amounts are net of 23 % DPH (§ 18 ods. 3). The § 11 ods. 3 (1/4) and § 11 ods. 4 (1/6, 1/13) rates use the annual výpočtový základ (€1 586 for 2026, refreshed each January). State court fees under zák. 71/1992 Zb. are statutory and VAT-exempt; constitutional-court proceedings sit under zákon č. 314/2018 Z. z. and carry no 71/1992 fee.
