Prawo do dobrej administracji jako kategoria prawna

The article discusses the problems of the right to good administra-tion understood as a legal category which consists of two aspects. Firstly, a citizen's right substantiated locally and individualised, being in a correlation with an obligation of a public administration organ. Sec-ondly, as a public right from which one can draw an effective legal claim towards a public administration organ. Therefore, in accordance with a theoretical construction of both notions, a subject outside the public administration system in a specified legal situation has a possibility to determine behaviour of an administrative organ according to the spirit of good administration. On the other hand, a subject performing tasks from the scope of administration has an obligation to act in such a way, and an individual is vested by this title a claim towards a public admini-stration organ. However, as the author underlines, such simplification does not exhaust supplementary elements of the right to good admini-stration such as efficiency and effectiveness of actions of the public ad-ministration. Nevertheless, she states that efficiency of action as a fea-ture of a general principle of good administration is also an element of the right to good administration, though it should be noticed that it is not a category surrounded with a normative content. 35
