The importance of conducting a main hearing in an administrative dispute

Magistrsko diplomsko delo obravnava pomen izvedbe glavne obravnave v upravnem sporu. Najprej predstavi ureditev glavne obravnave v mednarodnem pravu ter vpliv članstva Republike Slovenije v regionalnih organizacijah na urejanje glavne obravnave. Nadaljuje s predstavitvijo pravne ureditve glavne obravnave v nacionalni zakonodaji. V osrednjem delu magistrskega diplomskega dela so predstavljeni posamezni vidiki pomena izvedbe glavne obravnave v upravnem sporu. Pravica do glavne obravnave v upravnem sporu predstavlja samostojno človekovo pravico, ki jo zagotavlja 22. člen Ustave Republike Slovenije. Omenjena pravica ni absolutna, vendar morajo biti izjeme v praksi interpretirane restriktivno. Izvedba glavne obravnave je pomembna tudi za zagotavljanje javnosti izvajanja sodne funkcije, predvsem za zagotavljanje javnosti sodnih postopkov, kar varuje stranke pred sojenjem v tajnosti. Prav tako pomembno prispeva k zagotavljanju in ohranjanju zaupanja javnosti v sodstvo. Z njeno izvedbo je strankam omogočena tudi pravica do učinkovitega sodelovanja na obravnavi, v povezavi s pravico do izjave, kar jim omogoča, da sodišču predstavijo svoje videnje zadeve. Glavna obravnava je pomembna tudi z vidika uravnoteženja položaja strank, saj se šele v upravnem sporu srečata v procesno enakopravnem razmerju. Z izvedbo glavne obravnave se za stranke povečuje predvidljivost glede poteka postopka in njegovega izida, prav tako pa izvedba glavne obravnave daje vtis pravičnejšega odločanja.The master\u27s thesis deals with the importance of a main hearing in an administrative dispute. Firstly, it presents the regulation of the main hearing in international law and the influence of the Republic of Slovenia\u27s membership in regional organisations on the regulation of the main hearing. It goes on to present the legal framework for the main hearing in national legislation. The main part of the Master\u27s thesis presents individual aspects of the importance of conducting a main hearing in an administrative dispute. The right to a main hearing in an administrative dispute is an independent human right guaranteed by Article 22 of the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia. The said right is not absolute, but exceptions must be interpreted restrictively in practice. Conducting a main hearing is also important for ensuring the public exercise of judicial function, in particular for ensuring the publicity of court proceedings, which protects the parties from being tried in secret. It also makes an important contribution to ensuring and maintaining public confidence in the judicial system. The holding of a main hearing also enables the parties to participate effectively in the hearing, in conjunction with the right to be heard, which enables them to present their views to the court. The main hearing is also important in terms of balancing the position of the parties, since it is only in an administrative dispute that the they meet on an equal footing in the proceedings. Conducting a main hearing increases the predictability for the parties of the course of the proceedings and its outcome, while the conduct of a main hearing also gives the impression of a fairer decision-making process
