COLLECTIVE INTEREST IN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW

Abstract

The article attempts to answer the question whether the category of collective interest, known to other branches of law, is also justified in the area of administrative law. The analysis of the content of various categories of interests in the legal system against the background of the axiology of administrative law leads to the conclusion that the concept of collective interest is not needed in the area of this law. The functions it could fulfill in theoretical considerations and in the processes of implementing law do not go beyond the limits of the functions performed by the categories of individual interest and public interest collectively recognized in administrative law.
