THE NEW PRINCIPLES IN ADMINISTRATIVE DISPUTE (WITH A SPECIAL EMPHASIZE ON PROPORTIONALITY, LEGITIMATE EXPECTATIONS AND ACQUIRED RIGHTS)

U radu se razmatraju nova načela upravnog postupka prema Zakonu o općem upravnom postupku koji je stupio na snagu 1. siječnja 2010. Posebna pozornost posvećena je načelu razmjernosti, zaštiti stečenih prava i legitimnih očekivanja stranaka. Analizira se njihova primjena na pojedine institute Zakona o općem upravnom postupku upućujući i na neka komparativna rješenja u europskoj upravnosudskoj praksi (francuski Državni savjet, Europski sud pravde). Ističe se važnost ispravnog razumijevanja načela za tumačenje postupovnih normi i popunjavanja pravnih praznina.The authors in the article analyse new principles in administrative procedure according to the provisions of Law on General Administrative Procedure which entered into force on 1st of January, 2010. A special attention has been given to the principle of proportionality, protection of acquired rights and legitimate expectations of parties. The authors scrutinise their application with regard to certain institutes regulated by the Law on General Administrative Procedure and point at certain comparative solutions in European administrative-court practice (French State Council, European Court of Justice). They emphasize the importance to properly understand the principles in order to interpret procedural provisions and close legal gaps
