Corporate and self-governmental complaints and the independence of the entities of territorial self-government – the context of the self-governmental forms of direct democracy

Abstract

The independence of the entities of territorial self-government (of the bodies of these self-governing associations) should assume corporateness and self-governance as both the basic and intended features of territorial self-government. As the members of relevant territorial corporations, commune (district, province) inhabitants should have the legal ability to emphasise that territorial self-government derives “from” a territorial corporation, should create opportunities for acting “through” this corporation and “for” the corporation and its members. The legal remedies serving this end include the relatively unresearched and undeveloped measure of corporate and self-governmental complaints (that can be filed with the court by a member of a specific territorial corporation in regard with the in/activity of their home territorial self-government entity).
