Administrative disputes are court cases that arise from relations between public authorities and private law subjects, or between public authorities themselves. Administrative disputes are regulated by the Administrative Procedure Code of Ukraine and other regulatory legal acts.
Administrative disputes are considered by administrative courts on claims of persons who believe that their rights and legitimate interests have been violated by unlawful actions or inaction of public authorities or their officials.
The ways of resolving administrative disputes can be divided into two groups: judicial and non-judicial. Judicial resolution of administrative disputes involves appealing to the administrative court for the protection of one's rights and interests. Non-judicial resolution of administrative disputes includes such forms as negotiations, mediation, arbitration, consultation, etc. Both ways have their advantages and disadvantages, so the choice of the most effective one depends on the specific situation and parties to the dispute.
