Abstracts

The article deals with the issue of the draft bill amending the Code of Administrative Proceedings. According to the draft, if the matter has not been disposed of within the time limit specified in the Code, the public administration authority is to be fined by the administrative authority of a higher instance. The funds would then supply the state budget. The author criticizes the draft and raises a number of substantive and legislative arguments. She indicates that the idea of punishing the public administration authority, which consists of shifting public resources from one place in the budget to the other, is defective. Moreover, the change in the law would increase the inefficiency instead of improving and quickening the procedure. The author provides also arguments suggesting that the proposed measure will be counterproductive to the intentions of the authors. Finally, she presents her own idea for the legislature in case there is a strong legislative need to introduce some kind of a penal institution to the Code.
