In certain branches of public law, the administration has to produce the knowledge necessary to apply the standards which are relevant for them. Thus if the legal facts no longer provide abstract standards for decisions, and instead of this delegate the necessary creation of standards to administrative proceedings, then procedural law obtains an independent function. Using a selection of procedural constellations from oversight law, risk law and antitrust law, Burkard Wollenschläger analyzes this realignment in administrative law. He describes the structures of knowledge on which the reality is based, structures which are characterized by continuing destabilization and diversification, and analyzes simple procedural law.
