Kommunikative Verfahrenshandlungen im deutschen und europäischen Verwaltungsrecht

Does traditional administrative procedural law meet the requirements of the information society? In dealing with some communicative procedural acts, such as for example the right to a fair hearing, Barbara Bredemeier focuses on the current discussion. A detailed and practical analysis of German procedural law, including the theory of the consequences of errors, is followed by an examination of the guidelines set down in constitutional law. The author investigates whether or not statutory law in fact does adhere to these guidelines, and also determines that there is a need for change. She does a comparative study of the various European administrative laws, and as a result of this shows which changes have to be made. In conclusion, she makes proposals for amendments to the Law of Administrative Proceedings and the Rules of the Administrative Courts.
