Further Development

The pivotal aim of this book is to explain the creation, development, and impact of good governance from a conceptual, principal perspective and in the context of national administrative law. Three lines of reasoning have been worked out: developing the concept of good governance; specification of this concept by developing principles of good governance; and implementation of these principles of good governance on the national level. In this phase of further development of good governance, it is important to have a clear concept of good governance, presented in this book as the third cornerstone of a modern state, alongside the concepts of the rule of law and democracy. That is a rather new national administrative law perspective which is influenced by regional and international legal developments; thus, we can speak about good governance as a multilevel concept. But the question is: how is this concept of good governance further developed? Six principles of good governance (which in a narrower sense also qualify as principles of good administration) have been further specified in a systematic way, from a legal perspective. These are the principles of properness, transparency, participation, effectiveness, accountability, and human rights. Furthermore, the link has been made with integrity standards. The important developments of each of these principles are described on the national level in Europe, but also in countries outside Europe (such as Australia, Canada, and South Africa). This book gives a systematic comparison of the implementation of the principles of good governance between countries.

El Derecho Administrativo es un producto propio y específico del constitucionalismo nacido tras la ruptura revolucionaria con el Antiguo Régimen, que resultará profundamente condicionado por las circunstancias sociopolíticas del país, Francia, donde nació. El Régimen Administrativo del Estado de Derecho se conforma a partir del principio de legalidad, de la potestad reglamentaria, de las libertades públicas y los derechos públicos subjetivos, de la responsabilidad de la Administración y del control a través de la jurisdicción contencioso-administrativa. Administrazio Zuzenbidea konstituzionalismoaren berezko produktua espezifikoa da, Frantziako Iraultzak Erregimen Zaharrarekin apurtu ostean sortua eta herrialde horren egoera soziopolitikoak sakon baldintzatua. Zuzenbide Estatuaren Administrazio Araubideak osatzeko hauek guztiak hartzen dira abiapuntu: legezkotasun-printzipioa, arauzko ahala, askatasun publikoak eta eskubide publiko subjektiboak, Administrazioaren erantzukizuna eta administrazio-auziarekiko jurisdikzioaren bidez egiten den kontrola. Administrative Law is a product typical and specific of the constitutionalism born after the revolutionary break-off with the Ancien Regime, which was deeply conditioned by the sociopolitical circumstances of the State, France, where it was born. The Administrative Regime of the Rule of Law was made up from the point of view of the principle of legality, the statutory power, public freedoms and subjective public rights, the liability by the Administration and the review by means of the contentious administrative courts.

This chapter examines the stages of development of administrative law in Great Britain during the twentieth century, describing the different attitudes towards the exercise of state power and its legal control over the century. It explains that the century began with a concern for procedural justice and a particular concept of the rule of law, and ended with judicial constraints upon both the procedures and the substance of official decisions, justified by constitutional rights.

The Government

Good governance is needed because of legislative gaps, prevention of corruption, maladministration, and mismanagement, and fragmentation of administrative law norms. The concept of good governance has been developed in addition to aspects which can already be found in the rule of law and democracy concepts but are also related to the institutional framework of the government. The term ‘government’ is used for all the powers in the state; the administration is only one of these powers. These powers must fulfil certain norms, principles which sometimes are unwritten and developed by the judiciary or the ombudsman but more and more codified in the frame of the general (administrative) legislation. All the institutions of the government are involved in the development of these principles of good governance. There is not only a separation between the powers of the state, but more and more there are interactions between these powers in the development of principles of good governance and, hence, there is a balance between these principles. Therefore, there are different producers and sources of good governance.

AbstractContextual review is a judicial method that rejects doctrinal or categorical methods to guide judicial supervision of administrative action. Judges are invited to assess the circumstances of a claim in the round without any doctrinal scaffolding to control the depth of scrutiny; in other words, intervention turns on an instinctive judicial impulse or overall evaluative judgement. This paper identifies and explains the various instances where this method is deployed in judicial review in Anglo-Commonwealth administrative law. The efficacy of this style of review is also evaluated, using rule of law standards to frame the analysis. Its increasing popularity is a worrying turn, in part because its reliance on unstructured normativism undermines the rule of law.

The author of the article assesses the content of administrative normative and legal acts (on the example of legal regulation of restrictions on receiving gifts) through the prism of modern understanding of the principles of administrative law, which made it possible to distinguish a number of problems for determining the content of some of them and to work out the ways to solve them, namely: 1) Having studied the norms of the laws of Ukraine “On Prevention of Corruption” and “On Charitable Activities and Charitable Organizations” through the prism of the principle of humanism and justice in the relations between the individual and the state, it is proved that the legal possibility in the sphere of legal relations in the sphere cannot be restricted (forbidden) humanism and charity; 2) an analysis of the law enforcement practice of implementing the prohibition on gift giving has often revealed a flagrant violation of the rule of law; emphasized that ensuring the legal certainty of the described ban can be ensured by revealing its content by the National Anti-Corruption Agency; 3) installed: – uncertainty about the specific characteristics of “allowed gifts”, which requires amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On Corruption Prevention” to exclude them or to provide clear explanations within the framework of the NACC Guidelines; – violation of the provisions of the Typical Anti-Corruption Program of a Legal Entity approved by the Decision of NAPC No. 75 dated from March 2, 2017 No. 75 on the principle of hierarchical highness of law, which requires amendments to them in accordance with the provisions of the Art. 23 of the Law of Ukraine "On Prevention of Corruption", which defines uniform rules for determining the amount of "allowed gift"; – the content of the concept of "gift" does not correspond to such an important element of the rule of law as "prohibition of discrimination and equality before the law", which requires amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On Prevention of Corruption" in the part of the correction of the concept of "gift" as such is bounded by the restriction of "family-private" relations not related to the performance of functions of the state or local self-government. As a result, it was found out that the principles of administrative law in order to improve the regulatory acts of the sphere of administrative and legal regulation are: 1) as a criterion for assessing the content of provisions of regulatory legal acts, resulting in the isolation of their shortcomings; 2) legal bases for elaboration of amendments and additions to administrative normative legal acts.

RESUMO O presente artigo discorre sobre a evolução do controle sobre os atos administrativos discricionários, em especial a sindicabilidade do “mérito” destes, perpassando as diferentes teorias surgidas, desde a consolidação da ideia de Estado de Direito. Logo após, discorre-se sobre a admissão do controle judicial quanto aos elementos vinculados do ato, e, em seguida, sobre esse controle a partir de parâmetros implícitos da lei. Posteriormente, discorre-se sobre a teoria da vinculação direta aos princípios e dos atos “vinculados” por conceitos jurídicos indeterminados. Por último, aborda-se a teoria do enfoque jurídico-funconal, para, então, concluir pela possibilidade de se verificar uma tendência de sistematização, no sentido de apontar alguns parâmetros para o controle jurisdicional da discricionariedade administrativa. É utilizado o método dedutivo, por meio de pesquisa realizada em legislação, doutrina e jurisprudência das Cortes Superiores. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Direito Administrativo; Ato Administrativo; Discricionariedade; Controle Jurisdicional; Mérito do Ato; Conveniência e Oportunidade. ABSTRACTThis article discusses the evolution of the judicial control over discretionary administrative acts, especially the syndicability of the "merit" of these acts, crossing the different theories that have emerged since the consolidation of the idea of the rule of law. After discussing this judicial control in face of the rule of law, the admission of judicial control on the elements of the act is analyzed, and then, this control from implicit parameters of the law. Subsequently, there is a discussion of the theory of direct linkage to principles and "bound" acts by indeterminate legal concepts. Finally, it is discussed the theory of the legal-functional approach, and then, conclude that there is a tendency to systematize, in order to point out some parameters for the jurisdictional control of administrative discretion. The deductive method is used, through research conducted in legislation, doctrine and jurisprudence of the Superior Courts. KEYWORDS: Administrative Law; Administrative Act; Discretion; Judicial Control; Merit of the Act; Convenience and Opportunity.

Автором исследуется гносеология форм вины в зависимости от степени общественной опасности, делается вывод о том, что признание административным законодательством виновности свойством всех административных правонарушений имеет исключительно важный смысл, так как способствует точному соблюдению принципов социальной справедливости, дальнейшему укреплению законности в стане и отвечает не только требованиям последующего развития административного права, но и нуждам правоприменительной практики административно-юрисдикционной деятельности. Одним из обязательных юридических признаков понятия административного правонарушения является и наказуемость деяния, так как в действующем КоАП РФ применяется как термин «наказание», так и «взыскание». Автор разграничивает данные понятия, делает вывод о том, что наказуемость является одним из необходимых признаков понятия административного проступка, поскольку без административного правонарушения не возможно наказание, точно так же как без причины нет следствия. The author examines the ontology of forms of guilt depending on the degree of public danger, concludes that the recognition by administrative legislation of guilt as a property of all administrative offenses has an extremely important meaning, as it contributes to the exact observance of the principles of social justice, further strengthening the rule of law in the camp and meets not only the requirements the subsequent development of administrative law, but also the needs of law enforcement practice of administrative jurisdictional activity awns. One of the mandatory legal features of the concept of an administrative offense is the punishability of the act, since the term «punishment» and «foreclosure» are used in the current Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the author delimits these concepts, concludes that punishability is one of the necessary features of the concept of administrative misconduct, since without an administrative offense punishment is not possible, just as without a reason there is no investigation.
