Priority concession in the sea ports open for public traffic and the rule of law

U ovom radu autor opisuje prvenstvenu koncesiju kao posebnu vrstu koncesije u lukama otvorenim za javni promet. Prikazuje zakonodavna rješenja (Zakon o morskim lukama iz 1995. i Zakon o pomorskom dobru i morskim lukama iz 2003.), mišljenje pomorskopravne teorije, te se konačno osvrće i na različitu sudsku praksu Upravnog suda RH, Vrhovnog suda RH i Ustavnog suda RH. Takva sudska praksa nesumnjivo ne doprinosi vladavini prava u pomorskom poduzetništvu.In this article the author describes priority concession as a special kind of concession in the ports open for public traffi c. He presents legislation solutions (Sea Ports Act of 1995 and Maritime Demesne and Sea Ports Act of 2003) and the interpretation thereof in the maritime jurisprudence. Finally, he points out diff erent court practice of superior Croatian courts (Administrative Court, Supreme Court and Constitutional Court). The mentioned court practice does undoubtedly not contribute to the rule of law in maritime enterprises
