Terminowość załatwiania spraw z zakresu administracji publicznej

Abstract

Time in law, in administrative procedure, may be considered on a process plane as an essential question of punctuality in completing public administration cases. Regulations on time limits for completing cases in the Code of Administrative Procedure refl ect the principle of swiftness and simplicity of proceedings and the principle of lawfulness. They simultaneously establish rules to prevent from chronicity of administration procedure and are expected to discipline its course. Refl ections in this paper refer to punctuality in completing individual public administration cases in accordance with the Code of Administrative Procedure, judicature and the administration law doctrine. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the essence and types of time limits on completing cases, effects of failures to complete them in time, institutions and sanctions disciplining the organs carrying out the proceedings (responsibility for so–called signalization, accountability of an organ worker) as well as authorizing a party of the administrative proceeding to carry out their procedural rights (a complaint about the failure to complete a case in time, a complaint about inaction on the part of the organ).
