The Admissible Use of Self-Control by the Local Government Body in Relation to Resolutions Appealed against to the Administrative Court ‒ Theoretical and Empirical Analysis of Selected Issues

Abstract

This article presents the issue of using the institution of self-control in a situation where a complaint to the administrative court concerns resolutions of the constitutive bodies of local government units. As part of the legal analysis of the institution in question, the author paid special attention to its constraints with significant limitations, which constitute the limits of its admissibility. The paper also indicates practical aspects and nodal problems resulting from the various mechanisms used, which, due to its heterogeneity, have been subjected to in-depth empirical analysis and constructive criticism. The article presents the results of research carried out on the basis of the evaluation of numerous responses to requests for disclosure of public information, formulated by voivodeship marshals, poviat starosts and city presidents. The study is therefore scientific and research and practical in nature. The results of the research performed during the interpretation of the research findings are original and innovative, as such studies have not been conducted so far. This makes this study a valuable source of knowledge for representatives of science and practice.
