When your objection is declared inadmissible in Leiden, it means that it is not substantively assessed. This is due to failure to meet formal requirements.
What does inadmissible mean?
An objection that is inadmissible is not reviewed on its merits. The [administrative authority](https://rechtshulpdenhaag.nl/encyclopedie/bestuursorgaan-identificeren) in Leiden rejects it on the basis of procedural errors.
