The Impact of the Pan-European General Principles of Good Administration on Croatian Administrative Law – Arising from the Case Law of the Croatian Constitutional Court

This chapter discusses the impact of the pan- European general principles of good administration on the Croatian legal system. It discloses that such an impact is especially discernible in the field of administrative proceedings when Croatia had to reform the system thereof in order to stay in line with Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. However, it goes on to reveal that the case law of the Croatian administrative courts shows that, to a certain extent, a lack of knowledge of the said principles persists. This can be attributed to the cases of overly formalistic applications of law stemming from the deep-rooted legacy of ‘passive’ administration that calls for a change.
