Dienende Funktion des Verwaltungsverfahrens und Prozeduralisierung

he concept of the »serving function« of administrative procedure is one of the classic arguments of administrative law. In German administrative law this term is used regularly to indicate that procedural law is subordinate to substantive law. Although this was seen as self-evident for a long time, it is changing due to the procedural specifications of European law, but also due to an impetus developed within German law. Christian Quabeck analyzes various manifestations of the proceduralization of administrative law which indicate a much larger role of process-related thinking than had been assumed previously.
