Abstract

The institution of the contentious administrative matters stands for an indispensable and essential framework of the law - based democratic state, i.e. the "democratic form of repairing the mistakes committed by administrative organs and authorities, limiting their power of guaranteeing individual rights" or, briefly, "the juridical form protecting legal or physical persons against public administration abuses". In conformity with the organic law no. 554/2004, the contentious administrative matters has the following components: " "the activity of courts' legal solving of litigations between different parties, where at least one such party is a public authority, and the conflicts appeared at the issuing or concluding of an administrative act, either without a sentence - due to no not abiding by the lawful term - or with the unjustified refusal to solve a claim referring to a legitimate right or interest".
