Specific Issues of the Administrative Judicial Review: Right Protection Tools against Local Self-Government’s Regulation

Abstract

Local self-government regulation may affect the rights and legitimate interests of municipal citizens. This is particularly true for local self-government decrees, though normative decisions may also include provisions impacting the rights and legitimate interests of affected individuals. However, judicial review and effective legal remedy tools and procedures should be accessible when a local decree or normative decision is unlawful. Research based on the data of the Curia (Hungarian Supreme Court), analysis confirmed, that only indirect ways are available to citizens, and there is no effective, direct remedy against unlawful local regulation.
