Two years of the Law of Ukraine “On Administrative Procedure”: first experience of implementation

The article is devoted to the study of the experience of implementing and practical implementation of the Law “On Administrative Procedure” (LAP), which is fundamentally new for domestic administrative law. The need for such a study is due both to the novelty of the legal regulation itself and to the need to generalize the first practice of implementing this Law, summarizing the measures that have been taken by the state, the current state of implementation, and the formation of a vision for the next steps. This is an important work from a theoretical and practical point of view, because scientific monitoring, the formation of results and lessons, the identification of trends and challenges are a necessary element of effective legal policy.

The article highlights the first results for two years of the application of the LAP, based on the Report of the Ministry of Justice to the Parliament, relevant surveys of public servants of the executive branch and local self-government, as well as surveys of representatives of the judiciary and individual judicial practice. Conclusions are drawn both about the generally positive dynamics and about the still very significant potential of the LAP, which should be revealed in the coming years. The article identifies certain “marker” principles and mechanisms of the Law “On Administrative Procedure”, which allow monitoring and evaluating its implementation. On the one hand, positive dynamics are visible, especially over the past year, including at the level of application of certain mechanisms of the LAP, awareness and understanding of the LAP. On the other hand, certain defining principles of the LAP (primarily, guaranteeing the right of a person to participate in administrative proceedings, official status, etc.) continue to illustrate that significant efforts are still needed to implement the LAP. The article also summarizes certain steps taken by the state to implement the LAP, and identifies key next steps and tasks, including harmonization of legislation, a training component, improvement of information systems, and elimination of jurisdictional conflicts.

Keywords: administrative procedure, LAP, administrative practice, European integration, monitoring, LAP mechanisms, judicial practice, principles of administrative procedure.
