A comparative analysis of limitations in administrative appeals in Europe: the case of Poland and Slovakia

Abstract

The article focuses on the issue of administrative appeals and possible limitations in Poland and in Slovakia. The authors provide information on the efficiency requirements in administrative remedies and on the nature of administrative appeal. All these aspects are subsequently examined from a comparative perspective. The aim of the research is to analyse existing limitations in appeal systems and their impact on parties' rights and the efficiency of proceedings. These limitations discussed in appeals procedure are divided into three stages: at the initiation stage, in the course of the proceeding and at the termination stage. They further present other proposals for limitations to administrative appeals which have been taken into consideration in Polish and Slovak scholarship.
