What's the difference between a review and an objection?
According to Article 13 of the Administrative Procedure Act, an involved party has the right to object before an authority makes a decision in the case. Article 24 allows a party to request a review of a decision after it's been made. So, while most people talk about objecting to a fee, the correct term is to request a review.
