Activity of public administration as an object of judicial control

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to determine the place and features of judicial control over the activities of public administration among other types of state control. It has been established that control over the activities of public authorities includes the activities of legislative and executive bodies, their territorial bodies, state collegial bodies, local state administrations, local self-government bodies, the court and the prosecutor's office with regard to monitoring compliance with legal requirements (precepts, norms) and preventing their violations in the future Judicial control in this context acts as a special type of control in the activities of public authorities, the peculiarity of which is that it is not carried out on a permanent basis or systematically, such as control by specialized control bodies, but only in the process of considering administrative cases. Depending on the type of judicial jurisdiction, such types of judicial control were distinguished as general judicial control, or control carried out by general courts during the consideration of criminal, civil and administrative cases; specialized judicial control, or control carried out by specialized (administrative and economic) courts; constitutional judicial control, or control carried out by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine as the only body of constitutional jurisdiction. It was determined that the grounds for conducting judicial control over the activities of the public administration should be of a purely legal nature, i.e. checking the legality, the state of compliance with the rights and freedoms of citizens, etc. It has been established that today the creation of advanced forms of judicial control is a necessity arising from the objective needs of a civilized and democratic society. This type of control contributes to increasing the level of legal protection of citizens and serves as a criterion for assessing the legality of actions of state bodies.
