Le contrôle de l’administration par les juridictions administratives

Abstract

Judicial Review. Germany’s administrative court structure operates at three levels. The first two levels are made up of the courts of the Länder (the administrative court and the superior administrative court) whose functioning and organisation does not vary much from Land to Land. At the top of the hierarchy administrative disputes are settled by the Federal Administrative Court. The Constitution of 1949 lays down the constitutional principle of control over the administration to be exercised by the administrative courts, and a statute gives these courts competence in all disputes concerning matters of public law.
