¥dministrative Law
2nd volume - 15th edition
Epaminondas P. Spiliotopoulos

Abstract: The purpose of this book is to present and analyse the Greek
system of judicial review of administrative action, as provided by the
Constitution, recent legislation, general principles of law and supreme
administrative courts’ case law. The main subjects dealt with are: the
concept of administrative action review and its forms (parliamentary,
mediatory, judicial); the reasons for providing for administrative
justice; the administrative courts: Council of State (CS) (the Supreme
Administrative Court), courts of appeal (CAs), first instance courts
(FICs), Court of Audit) (organisation and competences); the concept
of administrative disputes and their categories: i) objective disputes
(the court only reviews the legality of the administrative action), ii)
substantive disputes (the court reviews both the legality and the facts of
the administrative action). The CS hears applications for the annulment of
administrative acts, final appeals against judgments of FICs and CAs and
recourses by civil servants. The CAs and the FICs hear recourses against
administrative acts as well as actions related to administrative acts and to
the liability of administrative authorities. The Court of Audit hears cases
concerning pensions and liability of civil servants. The Special Supreme
Court (SSC) is competent for disputes related to parliamentary elections
and referenda; the settlement of conflicts between supreme courts of
different branches of the judiciary; the resolution of controversies on the
constitutionality or meaning of statutory provisions; and the resolution of
contestations regarding international law norms.
