Should judges defer to administrative decisions? This book examines how the common law of judicial review has responded to the development of the administrative state in three different common law ...jurisdictions-the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Canada-over the past one hundred years.
Die Akzeptanz des Verwaltungshandelns gehört zu den Zielen einer effektiven, effizienten und demokratischen Verwaltung. Dem Verwaltungsverfahren wird dabei eine eigenständige Akzeptanzfunktion ...zugeschrieben. Doch worauf beruht diese Funktion, worin findet sie ihre Grenzen? Und wie könnte man sie fördern? Pascal Langenbach legt die psychologischen und empirischen Grundlagen verfahrensbasierter Akzeptanz dar. Als Schlüssel zur Rechtstreue der Bürgerinnen und Bürger zeigt sich deren Interaktion mit der Verwaltung in einem fairen Entscheidungsverfahren. Das allgemeine Verwaltungsverfahrensrecht sieht diese Interaktion vor allem im Rahmen der Anhörung des Betroffenen vor. Im Zusammenspiel mit weiteren Verfahrensfunktionen ergeben sich hieraus dogmatische und rechtspolitische Konsequenzen. Diese betreffen insbesondere die Ausgestaltung des Anhörungsrechts sowie den gesetzlichen Umgang mit Anhörungsfehlern. Die Arbeit wurde von der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft mit der Otto-Hahn-Medaille 2017 ausgezeichnet.
Increasing the investment activity of the existing companies and stimulating the incorporation of new companies is one of the factors of economic development. Many factors determine the scope of ...economic activity in a country, one of them is the procedure for incorporating economic entities. If we start from the assumption that the investor, domestic or foreign, has assessed the possibility of profiting in a specific economic environment, the first step in the realization of their business idea is the incorporation of their company. The legislation in Serbia provides an opportunity for a significant part of the procedure for incorporating business entities to be conducted electronically. Using this opportunity implies the knowledge of several laws related to the procedure for incorporation registration, as well as mastering new e-methods of communicating and running business. In this paper, we point out the normative solutions related to the e-registration of companies in Serbia and the problems in the practice that the founders encounter. E-registration of business entities entails the understanding of numerous e-instruments such as: e-documents, qualified e-signature, e-address, user applications, qualified e-time stamp and others. Memorandum of Association and other acts can be made in written or e-form, so the question arises whether all documents when forming a company can be in e-form and how an e-document can be materialized without losing legal force. Another legal obligation in our country, for some companies, is the e-records of beneficial owners. We will deal with these and other practical issues that the founders of companies in Serbia face in this paper.
Die Digitalisierung der öffentlichen Verwaltung steht für einen grundlegenden Wandel von Verwaltung und Verwaltungskultur. Als Motor für diesen Wandel wirken zum Teil unionsrechtliche Vorgaben. Da ...Verwaltungsorganisation und Verwaltungsverfahren aber in erster Linie Sache der Mitgliedstaaten sind und die Verwaltungsdigitalisierung in den einzelnen Mitgliedstaaten unterschiedlich weit vorangeschritten ist, vergleicht der vorliegende Sammelband die föderal gegliederte Bundesrepublik Deutschland und die zentralistisch organisierte Republik Polen aus einer rechts- und verwaltungswissenschaftlichen Perspektive. Die Beiträge beleuchten historische, rechtliche und verwaltungswissenschaftliche Grundlagen der Verwaltungsdigitalisierung näher, stellen die Regulierung dihrer technischen Aspekte dar und nehmen einzelne Verwaltungssektoren in den Blick.

The paper makes an attempt to identify the essence of the principle of ex officio investigation, which is considered common to administrative procedure and administrative proceedings. The authors set ...the task of analyzing not only the similar manifestations of this principle in the procedure and proceedings. An equally important for understanding the essence of the principle, and therefore the correct application of procedural and processual norms, is, according to the authors, to distinguish its different manifestations that cannot be ignored, because this principle forms the basis for the activities of representatives of various branches of power, namely executive and judicial. In order to perform the stated task, the paper analyzes among the rules of the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedure" and the Code of Administrative Proceedings of Ukraine those that characterize the considered principle, it is demonstrated in comparison how the representatives of each branch of power use them. As a result, the paper states that the representatives of executive and judicial authorities, under the influence of the principle of ex officio investigation, demonstrate evident activity in proceedings: they are authorized to take actions on their own, without obtaining the consent of the interested parties, which guarantee that the decision made by them in the case will fully meet the requirements declared at the regulatory level. At the same time, such activity is ensured by norms formulated taking into account the nature of the activities of each of the subjects of power, and therefore, in its manifestations, it cannot be recognized as identical.
Everyone has the right to own and use their lawfully acquired property, and no one shall be deprived of their property, except in the public interest, under the conditions laid down by law and as a ...result of the payment of a fair amount of compensation. I will attempt to perform a non-exhaustive, brief analysis of how well this has been achieved over the last hundred years. Furthermore, I am looking for the answer as to what extent the restitution provides full compensation in the case of nationalized real estates.
The public administrative work processes – and within that the regulation of the official procedure – have their own peculiarities and regularities. Observing, counting, organizing and possibly ...rethinking them can be extremely rewarding, as the history of modernisation of the administrative work has shown. The present study consists of two parts. In the first part, entitled “What was and what is now”, we discuss the foreign and then Hungarian antecedents of the rationalization of public administraion sytem and administrative work processes. Then, we analyze shortly the main characteristics of each stage of our “journey” from the first stage of the establishment of the general rules of the Hungarian administrative authority procedure – from the years of 1957, 1981, 2004, 2016. In the second part, entitled “What is now and what will happen, and will can happen,” we draw our vision, the consequences of the first part and outline what the position of the general regulation of the official procedure will be in Hungary in 2030. Sci-fi or reality? We try to give a hypothetical answer to this question. Not the way others see it, but the way we think it is.
The paper explores the normative framework on special organizations in the Republic of Serbia. Being an integral part of the state administration, they have features which are common to all ...organizations as well as some specific and highly distinctive features. Special organizations are primarily instituted to perform professional and related administrative activities whose nature requires a higher degree of independence when compared to the independence required in the work of administrative authorities within the organizational structure of ministries. In this paper, the author discusses the concept, characteristics, significance and specific position of special organizations, as well as their activities and organizational structure.
When we search for the significant players of administrative sciences both on domestic and international level, we find – amongst others, amongst departments of universities, think-thanks, committees ...of academies of sciences – also organizations that can be treated as parts of civil society, especially scientific societies, mainly scientific associations. My current paper deals exclusively with the latter ones (with scientific associations) and my main goal is to enlist those functions that can be or even should be reached by our newly created Central and Eastern European Society of Administrative Sciences. To provide the catalogue the elements of which are based on scientific evidence my presentation consists of parts such as a) the main roles of contemporary scientific associations; b) general features of the Hungarian civil society; c) the names and main features of the contemporary scientific associations in administrative sciences in Hungary; and d) also the results of an international survey conducted among 142 representatives of administrative sciences of 18 countries in our region, especially of those countries which were formerly socialist states. And finally, with the help of these facts collected I will try to show, and to offer some fairly new possible functions to invent in the interest of our ’beloved’ Society.
