Summary/Abstract: The subject of the study are the author’s conclusions in the context of the assessment of the scientific achievements of Wacław Dawidowicz, juxtaposed with the achievements of modern administrative law, as illustrated by selected examples. In the author’s opinion, they justify conducting comprehensive research on contemporary administrative law, taking into account systemic and structural changes in public administration and its tasks. There is a noticeable need to verify the current scientific achievements within the entire branch of administrative law, or even more broadly – in the context of all legal norms used today to fulfil public tasks. This seems necessary from the perspective Dawidowicz never forgot about, even speaking of the need to restrain the administration from appropriating most of the spheres of social relations. The point, therefore, is to verify whether there are still effective legal instruments to control the surrender to the administration of the possibility to decide on the criteria of disposing of public funds outside the system of statutory norms. Is it possible to effectively verify the legality of allowing the administration to choose legal forms of action in such a way that there is no possibility of an instance-based and judicial review of the legality of those actions. Finally, a negative answer to the above doubts doesn’t lead to a complete negation of the assumptions of the tripartite division of powers and a democratic state of law implementing the principles of social justice.
