Zasada szybkości postępowania administracyjnego w wybranych krajach skandynawskich i Polsce
The principle of efficiency of administrative procedure in selected Scandinavian countries and Poland

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this study is an analysis of legal norms focused on the efficiency of administrative procedure, including norms establishing the time limits for the administrative authorities to deal with cases and legal remedies to ensure that cases are settled without unnecessary delay. The considerations seek to verify whether the currently applicable regulations in the Polish legal system protect the right for cases to be considered in a fair manner, without undue delay, and whether they do not differ from the solutions adopted in other countries of the European Union. To compare models of administrative procedure in these terms, two Scandinavian procedures were chosen: Swedish and Finnish. It is widely accepted that Scandinavian countries are mature democracies, highly regarded for the administrative services provided to citizens and their guarantees of human rights protection. The Swedish model of administrative procedure was chosen due to the introduction of a new Administrative Procedure Act. In turn, the Finnish legal system is considered one of the most citizen-friendly public administration systems. In both Sweden and Finland, a number of improvements have been made to popularize e-administration, including actions taken to facilitate administrative procedure.
