Abstract


The subject matter of this paper is legal protection against administrative silence, i.e. non-performance of the administration. The first part of the paper explores the concept of administrative silence and presents two dominant models of administrative silence: the negative model and the positive model. The second part focuses on administrative proceedings dealing with administrative silence, with  specific reference to statutory time limits pertaining to legal protection against administrative silence. The third part elaborates on the consequences and effects of initiated proceedings, including available legal options and solutions for resolving such disputes in the future. The fourth part provides an example of proceedings in an administrative silence case. In conclusion, the author sums up the key issues that are have to be addressed in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of proceedings in such cases. The problem of legal protection against administrative silence is surely not an important subject in the legal science but it certainly has a huge practical effect on the establishment of the legal system and citizens’ trust in it.
