Sažetak
The purpose of this paper is to explore regulatory agencies and regulated parties in empirical study of administrative disputes initiated against decisions of regulatory agencies in Croatia. We aim firstly, to provide an overview of the status and trend estimates regarding these disputes, secondly, to answer the question how well does the system work from the perspectives of both the plaintiffs and the regulatory agencies, thirdly, to identify problem areas and to compare these with problem areas identified by authors studying the broader area of administrative judiciary in Croatia, and finally to compare efficiency level of regulatory agencies to other public authorities in confirming the legality of their decisions and actions. Data on all administrative disputes against twelve Croatian regulatory agencies’ decisions in the 17-year period between 1995 and 2011 are used to identify the main characteristics and trends relating to these disputes. Data for 2012 to 2013 was also examined to identify initial changes and emerging trends in the new administrative judiciary system resulting from fundamental legal reform as part of Croatia’s process of accession to the European Union in 2013.
