This sort of rule is extremely common in EU legislation. GPDR, for example, only allows standing in court for governments. You don't get to sue for your GPDR rights, you can only beg the government if your rights got violated (not the police, not the courts, not parliament, the executive). Or "the minister" as they say here. In practice this means the ministry of justice has an office, which has nothing to do with the judicial system, and you can send a letter to them. Of course this means governments and favored companies are effectively not bound by the GPDR.
