Broad Judicial Control over the Public Authorities: Primary Objective of the New Law on Administrative Disputes of the Republic of North Macedonia

Abstract

An administrative dispute is the legal mechanism of judicial oversight over the public authorities. In that respect, the law(s) which regulate the administrative disputes, in terms of their scope, the procedure, the jurisdiction for resolving administrative disputes, etc., are vital for the protection of the citizens’ and legal entities’ rights and interests. Therefore, this paper focuses precisely on the Law on Administrative Disputes of the Republic of North Macedonia adopted in 2019 and in force since 2020. The idea is to present the novelties and resolve certain dilemmas which may appear in the everyday application of the legal provisions. Finally, the aim of this paper is to argue that the broadened scope of the administrative-judicial control is more beneficial for citizens.
