In exceptional situations, you can submit a request in Zoetermeer for review of a final decision. This is only possible in the case of new, unknown facts from the original proceedings.
What does review entail?
Review is an exceptional legal procedure to have an unappealable decision reassessed. It is regarded as a last resort to rectify an injustice.
When is review possible?
A request for review can only be filed under the following conditions:
- There are new facts or circumstances that were unknown during the original proceedings.
- These facts could not have been adduced at that time.
- They could potentially have led to a different decision.
What does not count as grounds for review?
- New legal insights or arguments.
- Changes in case law or jurisprudence.
- Facts that you knew but did not mention.
- Regret about your approach during the proceedings.
How does the procedure work?
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Submit petition | This is done at the District Court of The Hague, under which Zoetermeer falls. |
| Time limit | No strict deadline, but act as soon as possible after discovery. |
| Court fee costs | Equal to the costs of the original proceedings. |
Chance of success
Requests for review are rarely granted in practice. The requirements are strict: only completely new and decisive facts that were previously unknown have a chance.
Frequently asked questions about review
Can I request review based on new case law?

There is no hard deadline, but you must act immediately upon discovering new facts.
What if my request is denied?
If rejected, the original decision stands. Usually, there is no further possibility of appeal.
