ABSTRACT

The administrative act in ex-Yugoslav legal doctrine was defined as a legal, individual, unilateral, binding act of administrative authority, deciding on administrative matters. Administrative acts are individual in the sense that they refer to a particular case or cases and their application is limited to that case(s). The contemporary Macedonian Constitution was adopted in 1991 and changed several times. The right to effective legal remedy is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, but its certain aspects are guaranteed. Effectiveness of legal remedies is part of the principle of the rule of law, which is guaranteed in Art.8 of the Constitution as a basic value of the constitutional order. The constitutional guarantees of legal protection in administrative law are further developed in the General Administrative Procedure Law, adopted in 2005, several sector-specific laws and the Law on Administrative Disputes (hereinafter LAD), adopted in 2006, but entered into force in 2007.
