  2. The Term ‘Administrative Dispute’ • The administrative dispute is a form of organized and systematic judicial control over the legality of administrative acts • There are two systems of judicial control , or in other words two types of administrative disputes: The Anglo-Saxon (the USA, the UK, and so forth apply common law with competencies lying within the regular judiciary), and the European – continental (France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, the Scandinavian states, and other European nations apply special (specific) administrative-legal norms within the competencies of specialized administrative courts)

  3. Subject of the administrative dispute • General (basic) clause system • Enumeration system • General clause system with negative enumeration

  4. General (basic) clause system • All legal acts of administrative bodies (general and individual) are subject to administrative-judicial control. • There is no specific listing of acts that are subject to an administrative dispute, within a law, but there is a provision that covers all acts, in a general manner.

  5. Enumeration system • Only the acts that are specifically listed within a law can be subject to an administrative dispute. • From a historical perspective, was the first system to develop. • The enumeration system foresees a limited range of the judicial control over the acts of administrative bodies.

  6. General clause system with negative enumeration All acts of administrative bodies are subject to an administrative dispute, excluding acts listed (enumerated) within a legal provision, thus representing an exception from the general rule. For example, these acts, most often, include the basic legal acts of administrative bodies, acts of the legislative body, acts of the Government, etc…

  7. Positive enumeration system • The new, Macedonian, Law on administrative disputes (LAD) contains a positive enumeration system • It explicitly lists the particular acts of the Government, units of Local Self-government, other state bodies and bodies with public authority, acts brought in a misdemeanor procedure, electoral procedure, acts on appointments and dismissals of public functions, and even general legal acts that regulate particular relations, administrative disputes arising from administrative contracts, and individual administrative acts for which second-tier deciding is not provided as a legal remedy.

  10. Dispute on the basis of legality, and dispute on the basis of full jurisdiction • A dispute on the basis of legality is an administrative dispute that conducts control over the legality of the act, and the court can subsequently nullify the illegal act and return it to its initial bearer, who will have to decide on it once again. • A dispute on the basis of full jurisdiction is a dispute through which the court nullifies the illegal act, and subsequently, on the basis of merit, solves the case with a judgment that fully replaces the act.

  11. Previous and additional dispute • A previous dispute is the dispute on the basis of silence of the administration. The administrative-judicial procedure is being conducted against an act that was not brought, solely because of the fact that the competent body did not bring the act, which in turn violates the rights of the party. • An additional dispute is an administrative dispute conducted against an already brought, final, act.
