Latvian term or phrase: tiesibas apstridet

mineto lemumu ir tiesibas apstridet LRV ministrijaa. I can't show an 'a' with a macron. The decision was made by a committee of the ZVA. Does it mean that anyone can legally contest (or appeal) this decision to the Ministry, or does it mean that the Ministry itself can legally contest the ZVA's decision (within a month of it coming into force). I can send the full paragraph to any helper if wider context is required. Thanks, David

English translation:the right to appeal [against the decision] to the Ministry

Explanation:
This is a use of the locative to indicate the place at which the appeal can be lodged, not to denote where those who may lodge it are located. Tricky, I agree.

Actually, if it is an individual, it can also be the right to appeal

right to contest (at the Ministry)

Explanation:
I know I've given the same answer as Burrell, but for the sake of clarity I wanted to emphasise that the decision in question can be contested at the Ministry (i.e. by someone from outside), as opposed to being contested at a court or other body. If the Ministry were to contest the decision, then the Latvian text would most likely say 'Ministrijai ir tiesiibas apstriideet.....'
