Unification of procedural forms – some remarks on the administrative court procedure

Abstract

This article addresses the forthcoming reform on procedural law regarding administrative courts – the Draft Project of Code of Administrative Court Procedure ─ from a comparative perspective within the procedural law applied by judicial courts, the Code of Civil Procedure (2013).
Some regimes on judicial procedure are compared in order to justify differences between those procedures (administrative and civil). Although coherent in the majority of solutions put forward some specific provisions contained in the Draft Project should be improved in order to diminish the length of the judicial procedures ensuring a real respect for the due process of law.
An additional closeness between procedural laws should be established where there are no specific reasons to justify administrative court procedure’s specific regimes.
