The concept of a request for expediting in the administrative proceedings

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present a new mean of challenge, i.e. a request for expediting, introduced to the Administrative Procedure Code. Earlier, when the authority did not settle the case within the time limit, the party could lodge a complaint. The complaint should be opposed by a request for expediting. The first part of the paper presents selected rules and terms binding in the Administrative Procedure Code. The following sections concern, among others, the definition of legal failure to act on the part of a public entity and excessive length of administrative proceedings. They present who can file a request for expediting. What are the ways of its examination? We will also find out what are the consequences of public entity being dilatory. The possibility of filing a request for expediting by a party or participant in the proceedings disciplines and mobilizes public administrative bodies for action.
