6. An administrative authority that is about to make a decision in relation to an indemnity or a benefit which is unfavourable to a citizen must ensure that the citizen has received the information enabling him to communicate with the authority and that the citizen’s file contains all information useful for the making of the decision. If the authority ascertains that such is not the case or that the file is incomplete, it shall postpone its decision for as long as is required to communicate with the citizen and to give the citizen the opportunity to provide the pertinent information or documents to complete his file.

In communicating the decision, the administrative authority must inform the citizen that he has the right to apply, within the time indicated, to have the decision reviewed by the administrative authority.
