Self-control in administrative court proceedings

Abstract

Self-control carried out by a public administration body or an administrative court is an institution which allows one to take appropriate actions to eliminate a defective decision from legal circulation. As a means of reviewing the legality of the act by the entity issuing the decision, it may raise doubts in terms of implementing the basic principles of administrative court proceedings as well as regarding the party’s right to a court. The analysis of self-control, based on the provisions of the established law, the achievements of the doctrine, and the jurisprudence of administrative courts, will contribute to determining the nature of this institution and making conclusions as to the legitimacy and advisability of its introduction as well as its application in practice by authorized entities.
