This book argues that the development of administrative law in
Europe owes much to Austria, not only because its Administrative
Court was one of the first to define and refine general principles,
such as legality, due process and general interest, but also
because in 1925 Austria adopted a general law of administrative
procedure, which had important consequences for other legal
systems. The book follows two themes. The first is the Austrian
codification of administrative procedure itself. The second is the
spread of Austrian ideas and institutions to some neighbouring
countries. From the first point of view, the book points out the
various factors that favoured the adoption of administrative
procedure legislation and the reception of the model of review. In
this respect, the book is enriched by the English translation of
the Austrian general act of 1925. From the other viewpoint, the
book deviates from the standard accounts whereby the Austrian
codification had some influence on its closest neighbours,
including Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia; first, because it
compares their legislative provisions, as well as their durability,
notwithstanding drastic political changes, when these countries
fell under Soviet rule; second, because it does not limit itself to
the concept of 'influence', arguing that there was a 'diffusion' of
general administrative procedure legislation; thirdly, because it
examines why the major administrative systems of continental
Europe, such as France, Germany and Italy, did not adopt
administrative procedure legislation. The book thus provides an
unprecedented outlook on the emergence of an increasing common core
regarding administrative procedure.
