Einstweilige Verwaltungsführung

The regulations of administrative law assume it is in principle possible to implement substantive law on a lasting basis if the facts are sufficiently clear under the law. However the administration is under pressure to make a preliminary decision if the implementation of a regular administrative procedure would be too late. In this work, Christoph Brüning examines possible solutions to this problem and comes to the conclusion that this could be remedied by an official interim arrangement which is based on weighing the interests of all concerned instead of a complete application of the law. This arrangement would be of a preliminary nature. The author concludes with a proposal for standardizing the structure of this interim arrangement in administrative law.
