Institution of decisions in pre-war administrative proceedings

Abstract

In 1928, President Ignacy Mościcki issued three statutes regulating administrative proceedings, resulting from the work of a subcommittee established in 1926. After extensive consultations with administrative authorities, lawyers and legal theorists, however, the provisions were often unclear, and therefore legal doctrine was subject to disputes over specific regulations arise. The most controversial among jurists was the signing of an administrative decision, as well as the revocation of a decision by the supreme body. The establishment of the Supreme Administrative Tribunal in 1922, whose judgments were of key importance for the solution of problems resulting from the application of the new regulations, was of particular importance for the development of administrative proceedings.
