ABSTRACT

The administrative litigation system in Romania allows for the possibility for citizens to contest the decisions rendered by the administrative authorities before a court in cases involving a breach of their rights or legitimate interests. Administrative litigation has a long-standing history within the Romanian legal system; several stages of development have been undertaken that showcase the progress made, though stagnated by the hiatus experienced between 1948 and 1965, during a part of the Communist period. 1 Currently, the Law on Administrative Litigation, 2 containing both substantive and procedural rules, governs the present-day system of administrative litigation.
