General Administrative Law

Meyerholt

Law Seminar of the University of Oldenburg General administrative law is a central area of law that is of crucial importance for the relationship between the citizen and the state. This course introduces the basic concepts of modern administrative law and provides an overview of the historical and legal context in which this area of law has developed. However, general administrative law is not only decisive for the relationship between the citizen and the state, but also increasingly for the relationship between companies based here and state institutions. The growing number of state regulations - caused not least by the European Community - requires companies to have the corresponding expertise. In many areas of life, action is taken on the basis of general administrative law, be it care insurance, business development or the guarantee of loans under the Federal Training Assistance Act (BAföG).
The further development of administrative law is always an indicator of the relationship between the population and the state. However, significant changes appear to have taken place here in recent years. In order to understand these changes, it is necessary to have a basic knowledge of the structures of general administrative law. This volume deals with the basic concepts of administrative law in their constitutional and administrative procedural context. Due to the close connection between administrative procedural law and procedural law, administrative procedural law is also introduced here in order to provide readers with a practical handbook.
