Summary/Abstract: The constitution defines the competences of a two-instance court consisting of16 voivodship administrative courts and the Supreme Administrative Court as the controlof public administration bodies. The judiciary in this respect is, therefore, subject to checkingthe legality of administrative bodies. This control generally does not provide for substantiveadjudication replacing administrative acts. Administrative courts do not take over the case torecognize but perform its control. Such a case is still being decided by a public administrationbody.
