A Massachusetts Complaint For Judicial Review Pursuant To Chapter 119A Sec 17 is a legal action taken to challenge a decision or ruling by a state agency. This type of complaint is typically filed by an individual or business seeking to have the decision or ruling of a state agency reviewed or overturned by the court. The complaint will typically set forth the facts and law that support the claim and the court will then review the complaint and make a decision on the matter. This type of complaint is used in cases such as: when a state agency denies an application for a permit or license, when a state agency denies a claim for benefits, when a state agency denies a request for a hearing, or when a state agency issues a decision that is contrary to law. There are two types of Massachusetts Complaint For Judicial Review Pursuant To Chapter 119A Sec 17: direct review and interlocutory review. Direct review is used to challenge a final decision or ruling by the state agency, while interlocutory review is used to challenge an interim decision or ruling by the state agency.
