Fine tuning of the General Administrative Procedure Act

Abstract

General Administrative Procedure Act was enacted in 2016 and started to be applied as of June 1, 2017. The new law brought important novelties and significantly altered the concept of its predecessor, which has tradition longer than eight decades. As it suits the law of such prominence and the scope and importance of the novelties, the new General Administrative Procedure Act provoked contrasting reactions in the academic community - from critique to commendations. The author of the paper (at the same time the one of the authors of the draft law) proposes amendments to the law that could ameliorate the administrative procedure. The author of the paper finds that there is a space for improvement of the provisions concerning the guarantee act, parties, delivery, objection, appeal and enforcement procedure.
