About the Changes in the System of Legal Remedies in Public Administrative Proceedings

Summary/Abstract: Many requirements, basic principles and expectations are expressed towards the public administration of democratic states, but it is a key issue that public administration must work properly and fulfil its functions for those who get in touch with it (primarily clients) in a satisfactory manner. The same concept is revealed in Zoltán Magyary’s statement that public administration must operate in a way that “parties, whose rights or interests are affected by the operation of public administration, should not find mistakes in it; moreover, they should not be afraid of mistakes or presume the existence of such”.1 It does not need further clarification that it is the legal remedy system of public administrative proceedings that serves the elimination of clients’ mistrust towards public administration offices and the correction of potential mistakes. Magyary’s other statement that “the rule of law endeavoured to protect the individual against public administration as much as possible” is also correct; therefore the methods of public administrative legal remedies are constantly in change. Since the currently ongoing recodification of public administrative proceedings in Hungary aims to put the system of legal remedies in public administration on a new basis, I wish to discuss the most important conceptual changes here.
