Traditionally, the scholarship of administrative law has paid only very limited attention to the phaenomenon of extraterritoriality. Hereby, the scholarship has reflected the theoretical considerations concerning the sovereignty of the State, which have implied that administrative authorities execute their functions exclusively in the territory of the State. At the same time, the scholarship of international public law has traditionally acknowledged that – as based on a corresponding international agreement – a State may allow the administrative authorities of a foreign State to execute certain functions in its own territory. This article aims to reconcile these two approaches, demonstrating that the phaenomenon of extraterritoriality has emerged to represent an integral part of the system of administrative law in various jurisdictions. This article also argues that this perception of administrative law actually fails to represent any new feature, but is based on traditional concepts existing in the public law of Europe. Thus, extraterritoriality must be considered as a part of the ius publicum europaeum commune.

This chapter examines how fiduciary principles apply to public offices, focusing on what it means for officeholders to comport themselves to their respective public roles appropriately. Public law institutions can operate in accordance with fiduciary norms even when they are enforced differently from the remedial mechanisms available in private fiduciary law. In the public sector, fiduciary norms are difficult to enforce directly and the fiduciary norms of public office do not overlap completely with the positive law governing public officials. Nevertheless, core fiduciary principles are at the heart of public officeholding, and public officers need to fulfill their fiduciary role obligations. This chapter first considers three areas of U.S. public law whose fiduciary character reinforces the tenet that public office is a public trust: the U.S. Constitution’s “Emoluments Clauses,” administrative law, and the law of judging. It then explores the fiduciary character of public law by looking at the deeper normative structure of public officeholding, placing emphasis on how public officeholders are constrained by the principles of loyalty, care, deliberation, conscientiousness, and robustness. It also compares the policy implications of the fiduciary view of officeholding with those of Dennis Thompson’s view before concluding with an explanation of how the application of fiduciary principles might differ between public and private law settings and how public institutions might be designed or reformed in light of fiduciary norms.

This chapter describes administrative procedure and judicial review in France. In French public law, no constitutional provision provides for judicial review of administrative measures. Nor is there a convention providing for judicial review of administrative measures. This is only envisaged by the laws and regulations, in particular the Administrative Justice Code and the Code of Relations between the Public and the Administration. The administrative courts exercise extensive control over the acts or measures of the public administration, including both individual decisions and regulatory acts, but some are nonetheless beyond judicial review. Where an act or measure is contested on procedural grounds, judicial review takes place only under certain conditions: the procedural defect must have deprived the applicant of a guarantee or it must have influenced the meaning of the decision taken. Two types of judicial remedy exist in administrative law: it is therefore up to the applicant to limit their application before the administrative judge.

This introductory chapter provides an overview of the idea and importance of constitutions. A constitution is essentially a rulebook for how a state is run, and its function is to impose order and stability; to allocate power, rights, and responsibility and control the power of the state. Indeed, a state's constitution sets out the structure and powers of government and the relationship between individuals and the state, and a balanced constitution ensures a balance of power between the institutions of government. New constitutions can arise either through a process of evolution or as an act of deliberate creation. The chapter then considers the UK constitution. Public law is a fundamentally important part of the UK's national law and is the law about government and public administration. It places limitations on the power of the state through objective, independent controls. It is also known as ‘constitutional and administrative law’.

In this paper, the author deals with the issue of forced acquisition of goods and services. The topic is approached both according to positive law and from the historical aspect. Attention is paid to various forms of confiscation of property with a special analysis of the process of expropriation of private goods and services. After public procurement, expropriation is the most common type of procurement of goods and services for the benefit of the state or the wider community. Also, expropriation, on the other hand, is a forced way of transferring the property rights of a natural or legal person on immovable property in favor of the state, which is done in the public interest and with compensation (which should be fair). Other coercive ways of acquiring property for the benefit of the state (ie public entities) are: nationalization, confiscation and arondation. However, only expropriation (from the extraordinary measures mentioned in the paper) has a wider application or significance for the regular functioning of the state, ie its public administration. The author (also) looks at the types of forced acquisition of goods and services for their temporary use. Requisition for the needs of the country's defense is of wider significance. Finally, instead of a conclusion, the legal nature of expropriation was pointed out. It is an institute of mixed legal nature - administrative law nature (public law elements) and property law nature (civil law elements). However, its public law elements prevail.

The article discusses problems of the constitutional regulation of property rights and property itself. The research has been narrowed down to the features of public property regulation in the Russian Federation. The relevance of the research is explained by the process of the reform in the public property administration in Russian Federation, which has transferring of the state property to some legal entities of public law as distinguished feature. The author proposes the historical analysis of the property regulation’s development and the role of the Constitution in this process. The comparative instruments are used to show the main preconditions and trends of public property regulation in Russia and other countries. The author argues the Russian Federation is going on the process of the property regulation construction and the modern stage sees the Constitution as a main axiological filter for that. Meanwhile, the Russian legal system has several obstacles in this way: the limitation of the direct force of the Constitution, the spoiled separation of power, etc. The importance of the system of the check and balances in the property administration is noted. Thus, the research explains the differences between the system of the separation of power in the United Kingdom, Ukraine, and Russia. The author discloses the distinguishing features of the public property the state needs to account in the process of the property transition to public law entities. The critic overview of detailed property regulation in the Constitution’s text is expressed. The author notes constitutional provisions that regulate property issues are features of the post-socialist states. The difference between property rights and sovereign rights is also enclosed in the article. The justification of the right to administrate public property is provided, the research explains the importance of the justification in public property administration and its role in democratic societies, especially in the Russian Federation. The privatization and decentralization of the public property administration are needed to be explained the effectiveness and stability of these decisions. Additionally, the author argues that public property must have more concrete regulation because it needs more complex rules for just and effective administration. The conclusion of the article explains the linkage between the constitutional ideal and the development of public property regulation.

This article considers some of the risks and challenges raised by the use of algorithm-assisted decision-making and predictive tools by the public sector. Alongside, it reviews a number of long-standing English administrative law rules designed to regulate the discretionary power of the state. The principles of administrative law are concerned with human decisions involved in the exercise of state power and discretion, thus offering a promising avenue for the regulation of the growing number of algorithm-assisted decisions within the public sector. This article attempts to re-frame key rules for the new algorithmic environment and argues that ‘old’ law—interpreted for a new context—can help guide lawyers, scientists and public sector practitioners alike when considering the development and deployment of new algorithmic tools. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘The growing ubiquity of algorithms in society: implications, impacts and innovations'.

The contract of international carriage is a special type of foreign economic transactions. The specificity of this agreement is due to the peculiarities of transport as a natural monopoly of the state. The contract of international carriage includes public law (determination of the status of the transport environment) and private law (direct organization of the carriage itself) aspects. International carriage is the carriage of goods and passengers between two or more states in accordance with the terms of an international agreement concluded between them.
