PARTIES IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE

Upravni postupak predstavlja skup procesnih pravila koja određuju način djelovanja javne uprave kada ona odlučuje o pravima i obvezama pojedinih subjekata u tzv. upravnim stvarima, odnosno kada donosi upravni akt. U Republici Hrvatskoj jenakon osamostaljenja donesen Zakon o općem upravnom postupku (ZUP)kojeg je zamijenio novi ZUP stupanjem na snagu 1. siječnja 2010. godine i danas je on važeći. Postupak je pokrenut na zahtjev stranke ili se protiv stranke vodi postupak, a ona ima pravo sudjelovanja u postupku kako bi zaštitila svoja prava i pravne interese. Upravo su stranke u upravnom postupku predmet ovog završnog rada koji se sastoji od tri glavna dijela. Stranke u postupku mogu biti aktivne, pasivne ili uzgredne, a važne pretpostavke za stranačko djelovanje jesu stranačka sposobnost, postupovna sposobnost te stranačka legitimacija. Postupovne radnje može umjesto stranke obavljati netko drugi uz podnesen dokaz o ovlasti za zastupanje.Kao postupovne radnje stranaka protiv odluka javnopravnih tijela javljaju se pravni lijekovi koji mogu biti redoviti i izvanredni. Njihov pregled također je dan u ovom završnom radu.The administrative procedure is a set of procedural rules that determine the mode of operation of public administration when it decidesabout the rights and the obligations of certain entities in the so-called administrative matters, or when it adopts an administrative act. In Croatia, after the independence, the Law on General Administrative Procedure Act (APA) was brought. It was replaced by the new General Administrative Procedure Act coming into force on 1 January 2010, and today it is valid. The procedure is initiated at the request of the party or the procedure is taken against the party which has the right to participate in the proceedings in order to protect their rights and legal interests. The parties in the administrative procedure are the subject of this final paper, which consists of three main parts. Parties of the proceedings can be active, passive or incidental, and important assumptions contributed to the party's action are a party to proceedings, procedural capacity and party legitimacy. Procedural actions can be preformed by someone else instead of party with submitted proof of the power of attorney. As the procedural actions of the parties against the decisions of public law bodies appear remedies that may be regular and extraordinary. Their review is also the part of this final paper
