Summary/Abstract: The right of access to a court is subject to certain limitations.While a number of these limitations may be created deliberately, in line withthe function of the administrative justice system (e.g. restrictions on reviewby the higher courts, others may be more or less unintended consequences ofthe design of the administrative justice system (or application of relevant rulesor case law). The article attempts to present possible forms of these limitationsand tries to outline some of the main “bottlenecks” in the access to judicialprotection in the context of Czech administrative justice. These limitations canbe regarded mainly as formal and informal, and their recognition can resultin increasing the efficiency of the functioning of judicial protection, in par-ticular by simplifying procedural regulation in relation to the ongoing societaland technical changes.
