Example and typical cases in the administrative judiciary of Lithuania.

Abstract

In the article the specifics of model and typical cases in Lithuanian administrative proceedings are analyzed. The content of each type is investigated and features of administrative and legal regulation of these issues in Lithuania are highlighted.
 The mechanism of model and typical cases in administrative justice was the institute of pilot decisions rendered by the European Court of Human Rights. Since the first pilot decision was made, the use of this tool was primarily aimed at reducing the burden on courts and judges. At its core, the pilot decisions of the European Court of Human Rights provide guidance to public authorities on the existence of a systemic problem with a large number of persons and recommendations to remedy the identified violations. By implementing the Institute of Pilot Solutions, two tasks were solved at once: first, an institute aimed at solving repeated problems was introduced; secondly, this mechanism facilitated the resolution of cases arising from the persistent systemic malfunctioning of the administrative and law enforcement bodies of the legal system of the state
 The following features of the legal regulation of model and typical cases in the administrative judiciary of Lithuania are distinguished, which distinguish it from the Ukrainian model of legal regulation of these institutions:
 1) model and typical cases were called "model" and "individual homogeneous", but their essence is identical;
 2) model cases may be heard by local administrative courts;
 3) at least 20 typical administrative cases must be kept in the proceedings of one or more administrative courts in order to open an exemplary case;
 4) the decision to open a case in an exemplary case may be appealed by the participants of a typical case;
 5) after the entry into force of a decision in an exemplary case, typical cases may be considered in a simplified manner.
 The directions of borrowing positive experience in the national administrative legislation are outlined and formulated.
