Foundations of Public Law in the Light of Tadeusz Bigo’s Academic Achievements

Abstract

The aim of the article is to characterize the notion of a public-law foundation against the background of Tadeusz Bigo’s reflection on public-legal relations. There should be emphasized the importance of work of Professor Tadeusz Bigo for the current doctrine of administrative law. Examples of contemporary foundations of public law illustrate the considerations undertaken in the article. The content of the article is divided into three chapters, introduction, and conclusion. In the research, a theoretical-legal method and a dogmatic-legal method were used. The research shows that there is a theoretical possibility to include public-law-foundations in the category of public-legal-associations, although such categorization encounters difficulties related to the factual substrate of foundations.
