Course objectives

The main objective of the course is to acquaint students with administrative procedural law, not only in terms of theoretical-law, but especially from the practical point of view. The course respects performed changes in the transformation of public administration, especially in connection with the adoption of Law No. 500/2004 Coll. Administrative Procedure Code, as amended.
From the structural point of view the course can be divided into several thematic units.
In the first one students will become acquainted with the basic concepts and principles of public administration and administrative proceedings, as well as with the entities active in administrative proceedings. Another unit is devoted to the proceedings taking place before the administrative authorities where two perspectives have been adopted. The subject matter is viewed both from the point of view of general administrative proceedings (including special provisions introduced by the new edition of Administrative Procedure Code) and the special proceedings point of view (especially application for a building permit procedure, Land Cadaster proceedings, etc.) In this unit students will become familiar with the procedure applied before the start of proceedings, the course of proceedings in the first instance, as well as decision-making in public administration. The follow up thematic unit logically takes a look at control mechanisms implemented to check public administration execution, especially remedies, including court review. The final thematic unit deals with follow-up institutions, especially filing of complaints, public contracts, general measures, execution of administration and other questions related to administrative procedure.
At the end of the course the students will be able to work with the sources of the administrative procedural law in order to interpret and apply them in concrete cases.
