The deadline for submitting a written statement in administrative procedure expires on April 1, 2020. Do I have to submit a written statement on April 1, 2020?

No. According to ZZUSUDJZ, all procedural and substantive deadlines are suspended in administrative and other public matters, unless in urgent matters. This means that while special measures are in place, the deadlines do not run, and are extended to expire on the eighth day after special measures cease to have effect.

However, the deadlines are not suspended in individual cases, if there is a danger to life and public health, public law and order, public safety, private property of significant value, if livelihood of a party in the procedure depends on the decision, if enforcement of other rights depends on the decision, and if this is necessary for effective execution of powers for the purposes laid down by ZZUSUDJZ. In such cases, administrative authority must expressly notify the parties in an order, decision or other document about such a deadline.

Considering all of the above, the deadline for submitting a written statement, when the matter is not urgent and you have not been notified about a continuation of a deadline by the administrative authority, will expire on the eighth day after the special measures have ceased.
