Administracinės teisės šaltinių sistema

Abstract

Administrative legal regulation of public management (administration) is provided in abundant legal norms of laws and bylaws. However, the number of the norms of administrative law may differ in various legal acts: a legal act may consist of the norms of administrative law only or a part of the provisions of a legal act (belonging to another branch of law) may be bound up with a group of such norms. On the basis of the abovementioned criterion, the following sources of administrative law can be singled out: the Constitution; international and some other (such as intergovernmental) treaties that include the norms of administrative law; legal norms of the European Union; decrees of the President of the Republic; decisions of the Seimas and the Government; normative acts of administrative law adopted by other subjects of central public management (administration) (such as ministries, governmental institutions, institutions under ministries, etc.) and local self-governing institutions; judgments of courts, including the national (administrative courts and the Constitutional Court) and the European ones; legal norms and administrative agreements adopted by the decisions of the heads or collegial structures of other subjects of public management (administration) (such as state-owned and municipal enterprises and public institutions or non-governmental organizations).
