Abstract

The paper aims to evaluate the direct and indirect determinants of the system for administrative legal protection efficiency in the Republic of North Macedonia. For this purpose, the paper analyzes the legal and institutional framework of administrative authorities i.e. the second instance administrative commissions that act on the appeal against the decisions of the first instance administrative bodies, as well as the legal and institutional framework of the Administrative and Higher Administrative Court that provide administrative-judicial protection against administrative acts. The paper assesses internal efficiency determinants for three second instance state commissions that provide legal protection in administrative procedure in the country, independently, as well as the two administrative courts: staff (administrative staff, number of elected members of second instance commissions, number of judges), number of newly formed cases, number of resolved cases and number of unresolved cases at the end of a year.

  • Understanding efficiency as a specific reflex of the principle of legality, legal protection against infringement on the former is considered violation of the latter. This means that parties in administrative procedures and administrative dispute are provided right of objection, appeal and law-suit when their rights are violated as a resulted of administrative inefficiency in the same capacity and legal format provided in any other administrative process

Summary

Introduction

Authorities conducting administrative procedures, decision makers on administrative matters are obligated to secure successful and quality provision of civil rights, legal interests and duties before the state to all parties in i.e. citizens and businesses. Efficiency may be perceived as a true (real) effect of productiveness achieved by execution of specific tasks, assessed by whether intended goals were met or not, or whether the expected output from an administrative process is the one desired in the moment the process was initiated. In this more generalized context, efficiency may include quality, effectiveness, expediency and speed (economics) of administrative work (Dimitrijevic 2017, 325). The research‟ goal was to determine direct and indirect predictors of efficiency in the system for administrative legal protection in North Macedonia
