Summary/Abstract: Supervision in the light of administrative law and doctrine means a specific, law-based function aimed at ensuring proper operation of specific elements of the public administration system by the legally authorized entities, having appropriate competence to check and to evaluate such activity according to the adopted assessment criteria. The annulment of local law acts enacted by the commune authorities, the dismissal of the executive body and the suspension of commune bodies as well as the establishment of a receivership are the basic means of supervision over the activities of municipalitiesThe supervisory authorities, within the framework of exercising supervision over territorial self-government, determine discrepancies between the actual state and the postulated state. Based on these findings, the evaluations are made which are subject to a particular valuation. Depending on the result of this evaluation, the supervisory authority decides on the implementation of a particular supervisory measure. An important element of the supervisory proceedings is the evaluation of assessments, because not every activity assessed as incorrect or unlawful results in the obligation to apply a supervision measure.The purpose of this article is to present legal and organizational aspects of the evaluation of assessments as part of the supervision of local government, resulting in the implementation of selected supervisory measures such as: the annulment of a local law and suspension of local government bodies.
