The article focuses on the relationship between public administration and legal deontology. Public administration is a renewed form of public administration. The difference is that public administration is a more democratic process of state-authoritative impact on social relations. This democracy is manifested in the forms and methods of managerial activity used. Among the forms and methods of public administration, a softer set of forms is selected – an appropriate combination of legal and non-legal forms, the method of persuasion and coercion. The very activity has an executive and administrative nature. The executive orientation implies the call of public administrations to promote the practical implementation of laws. Orders – to adopt and implement legal acts of administration. Forms and methods together constitute the tools of activity of public administrations. Executive-administrative activity is carried out through appropriate managerial procedures. The basis of activity is administrative discretion. It consists in the possibility at one’s own risk to use forms and methods in their totality depending on the choice of the public administrator himself. This requires its appropriate level of professional training and the necessary level of compliance of the activity of a public administrator with increased moral and ethical parameters. Given the lack of administrative and procedural legislation, it is proposed to consider the use of discretionary powers as permissible with the possibility of expanding their limits within the law. But this is only on condition of introducing into the normative regulation of public administrators’ activity the code of their professional conduct. Such a code should contain an ideal model of professional conduct of public administrators. Conformity of professional conduct of an official of public administration body to the requirements of the code is a prerequisite for the implementation of its social mission. The code of ethics of a public administrator should contain a set of requirements of moral and ethical nature, compliance with which in the activities of the public administrator will contribute to the implementation of constitutional requirements on the social orientation and conditionality of the activities of the state and all its bodies.

The complex, yet vague nature, of legislation being generated by lawmakers in Washington, DC requires that public administrators be afforded administrative discretion in carrying out their respective duties. It is no longer possible for policymakers to be fully informed regarding the multitude of variables that exist in the offshore fishing environment, nor is it possible to articulate that spectrum of variables in codified laws and regulations. The academic debate between controlling the exercise of administrative discretion on the one hand and extending the leash of judgment on the other has been around as long as the profession of public administration. In the case of the eleven-inch fish (the fish is one inch shy of being a legal catch), the public administrator on the scene of the infraction has a choice to make. The administrator can choose to overlook the incident, issue a warning, or issue a $100 notice of violation and seize the fish. I know which alternative I chose. The question is, which alternative would you choose?

It is assumed in this article that there is an urgent need to establish in African states adequate facilities for legal education, and that such education should be of the highest possible standard and adaptable for the special needs of the new African countries. Hitherto much of the law in which an African student was instructed was that which was received from and is applied by the European colonial powers. He was not instructed in customary law or the special legislation of his country. Today the special legislation of a new African state has become increasingly important especially in the fields of co-operatives, trade unionism, agriculture, industry, public administration and social relations. Thus the lawyer of any African state whose only equipment is the received law, which in reality will remain a basis for the understanding of the new legislation, becomes ill-equipped for either private practice or the public service.

<p>The article is of a scientific-research nature. The author discusses the problem of limits of judicial review of discretionary decisions made by taxation authorities, which aim at applying relief in payments of tax liabilities under Polish regulations and case-law of administrative courts. It may be noted that despite the issue of administrative discretion being discussed in the academic literature, the question of limits of judicial review in the practice of administrative courts still raises doubts. It is therefore reasonable to undertake the analysis of the main views formulated in the literature and the case-law of administrative courts addressing this problem, from the point of view of the limits of judicial review of discretionary decisions. The thesis of the article is that the nature of discretionary decisions on relief in payment of tax liabilities, determined by the function of administrative discretion, and, at the same time, the criteria set out in the law for judicial review of public administration, limit the role of the administrative court in examining the compliance with procedural law of the tax proceedings preceding the issuance of such a decision and the respecting by tax authorities of the fundamental values of the system of law expressed in the Polish Constitution. This is because they define the limits of administrative discretion, within which the choice of one of the possible solutions remains beyond the judicial review of the public administration. For the law, as it stands (<em>de lege lata</em>) there are no grounds for administrative courts, provided that the tax authorities respect the basic values of the legal system expressed in the Polish Constitution, to formulate assessments as to the circumstances and reasons justifying the granting or refusal to grant a tax relief, or its scope. The concept of internal and external limits of administrative discretion may therefore be useful for administrative court rulings.</p>

Аннотация. Статья посвящена исследованию системы правовых актов, в частности такой его разновидности как приказ. Отмечается, что правовые акты играют особую роль в процессе упорядочивания общественных отношений, посредством которых закрепляются определенные правила и требования как для всех граждан, так и для определенного круга лиц. Важное значение уделено процессу управления, который осуществляется посредством издания таких правовых актов органов управления как постановления, приказы, распоряжения, правила, инструкции и положения. Наиболее удобной формой выражения воли должностных лиц является приказ, с помощью которого возможно решение ежедневно возникающих вопросов в государственном управлении, а также утверждение им иных форм правовых актов (положения, инструкции, правила). Однако, отсутствие характеристики приказа в действующем законодательстве ведет к тому, что его относят к локальным актам, не обращая внимание на его нормативный характер. В статье проводится анализ дефиниции «приказ», выявляются его признаки, специфика применения в различных сферах. The article is devoted to the study of the system of legal acts, in particular of such a variety as an order. It is noted that legal acts play a special role in the process of streamlining social relations, through which certain rules and requirements are established for all citizens and for a certain number of persons. The importance is given to management process which is carried out by means of the publication of such legal acts of governing bodies as resolutions, orders, orders, rules, instructions and provisions. The most convenient form of expression of the will of officials is an order, by means of which it is possible to solve daily issues in the public administration, as well as to approve other forms of legal acts (regulations, instructions and rules). However, the absence of a characteristic of the order in the current legislation leads to the fact that it is classified as local acts, without paying attention to its normative nature. The article analyses the definition of "order," identifies its characteristics, specifics of application in various spheres.

The paper presents the experiences of Serbia and selected European Union countries in the field of professional development of civil servants as one of the most important factors in the reform processes of professionalisation and depolitization of the public sector. The performed comparison showed that the professional development of public servants in the observed countries has certain similarities, but also differences.Similarities relate firstly to the already established general consent to the treatment of this area as an important development factor for each state, then in the organization of management of professional development, as well as the technology of that performance with the accompanying evaluations. It was noted that the professional development of civil servants in the Republic of Serbia is still not being given the necessary attention in higher education, while significant improvements have been made in terms of improving the form of professional development through training and seminars.As for the technology of the observed professional development, it is in Serbia in the stage of constitution, and the expectations are that the latest amendments to the laws will improve this area. The significance of this contribution should be achieved through the work of the National Academy of Public Administration, as newly established centralized institutions entrusted with all expert and related executive and other state administration tasks related to the preparation, organization, monitoring and evaluation of the program of professional development of employees in public administration.
