The appeal in an administrative dispute

Abstract

U radu se razmatra uvođenje dvostupanjskog sustava upravnog sudovanja u Hrvatskoj 2010. godine. Utvrđuje se potreba uvođenja žalbe u upravnosudski sustav te se pojedinačno analiziraju ograničenja vezana uz ovaj institut. Najprije se razmatra ograničenje izjavljivanja žalbe protiv rješenja, zatim stavljanje nekih prvostupanjskih upravnih sporova u nadležnost Visokog upravnog suda Republike Hrvatske te, konačno, ograničenja izjavljivanja žalbe na neke vrste presuda upravnih sudova. Nadalje se utvrđuju razlozi i nedostaci tzv. „filtera“ za izjavljivanje žalbe na presudu prvostupanjskih upravnih sudova. U radu se ujedno razmatraju i usporednopravni instituti vezani uz pravo izjavljivanja žalbe u upravnom sporu te se utvrđuje u kojoj je mjeri hrvatsko pozitivno pravo usklađeno ili odstupa od rješenja prihvaćenih u drugim europskim državama. U zaključku autori sugeriraju potrebne intervencije u Zakon o upravnim sporovima.This article considers the introduction of the dual system of administrative judiciary in Croatia in 2010. The need to introduce appeals in the administrative court system is established as are the limitations related to this institute. Firstly, limitations to initiating appeals against judicial decisions are considered. Then, the placement of some first instance administrative disputes under the authority of the High Administrative Court of the Republic of Croatia is considered as is, finally, limiting initiating appeals against some kinds of administrative court decisions. Furthermore, the reasons and disadvantages of the so called \u27filters\u27 for initiating appeals against first instance administrative court decisions are expounded. This paper also considers the comparative legal institutes related to legally initiating appeals in administrative disputes and establishes the extent to which Croatian positive law is harmonised with or deviates from accepted legal solutions in other European countries. In the conclusion, the authors suggest necessary interventions in the Administrative Dispute Act
