THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN IS CLOSE TO THE 6TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ADOPTION OF THE LAW “ON ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES”: MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS AND PROBLEMS

Abstract

This article analyzes the main achievements and problems on the 6th anniversary of the adoption of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Administrative Procedures.” In particular, some issues related to the application of the main principles of administrative procedures, administrative-legal norms, and provisions related to administrative acts in administrative court practice were analyzed. It can be seen that there are still some problems with the application of the main principles of administrative procedures (Article 5-19 of the Law on Administrative Procedures) by the administrative courts. It should be recognized that legality (Article 6), the principle of availability of hearing (Article 9), and the principle of priority of the rights of interested persons (Article 11) are used relatively more in the practice of administrative courts. It should also be recognized that these principles are appropriate and correctly applied. However, there are still problems regarding the application of the principles of proportionality (Article 7), protection of trust (Article 16), and legality of administrative discretion (Article 17) in judicial practice. It is also appropriate to recognize that there is still an approach based on civil law when dealing with disputes arising from administrative-legal relations.
