Die Vertretung der Behörde

Ulrich Hufeld sees the actions of those who represent government agencies embedded in general administrative law. He poses the classic quis iudicabit question ad personam and outlines a democratic administrative right of the individual. This systematic study deals with the internal procedures in agencies, describes the personal representatives of the hierarchic government agencies, who are bound but not completely governed by internal and external law, such as for example in ministries and tax offices, and discusses the issue of temporary replacement by colleagues and examines the 'government official named in the law'.
