CONCEPTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS IN MODERN SCIENCE OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW AND PROCESS

Abstract

The paper analyzes the concepts of administrative process presented in legal science. It is stated that every concept of the administrative process has the right to exist, because all of them are based on the facts, phenomena and norms actually existing in the legal system of Ukraine. However, three of them are most thoroughly presented in the legal literature: 1) the concept of a broad understanding of the administrative process; 2) jurisdictional (law enforcement) concept of the administrative process; 3) the concept of a narrow understanding of the administrative process. Representatives of a broad understanding of the administrative process argue that the procedural form is present wherever there is a need to implement substantive rules of administrative law, and all organizational legal relations are inherently procedural relations. Representatives of the jurisdictional and law-enforcement concepts of the administrative process, firstly, are convinced that the procedural form can be inherent only in activities related to the administrative-jurisdictional or law-enforcement activities of the competent authorities, and secondly, that the organizational legal relations are evenly distributed between substantive and procedural relations. Representatives of the concept of narrow definition of the administrative process insist that the procedural form relates solely to the activity of one branch of power - the judiciary, and therefore procedural relations arise only in the sphere of administration of justice by the courts.
