The aim of this article is to comprehensively analyse the legal position of the public prosecutor in administrative proceedings and administrative court proceedings. This subject is interesting because the public prosecutor is usually associated with criminal proceedings and his capacity as the public accuser. However, the public prosecutor plays a special role in administrative proceedings, i.e. participates in them as an entity with the rights of a party, even though he has no legal interest in it. It is also worth noting that the powers of the public prosecutor are clearly more extensive than those of other entities with the rights of a party. This article is an attempt to determine the role of the public prosecutor in administrative proceedings and decide whether he is the accuser or rather the representative of the public interest. The position of the public prosecutor in proceedings before administrative courts is special as well. This issue needs to be discussed in detail, which was taken into account in the second part of the article. The position of the public prosecutor as the advocate of the rule of law is regulated by the Act on the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The analysis of these provisions in conjunction with Chapter 4 of the Code of Administrative Procedure leads to a conclusion that the public prosecutor who acts in administrative proceedings as an entity with the rights of a party has powers vested in him alone and watches over such proceedings, thereby fulfilling the duties of an advocate of the rule of law. To fully show the special position of the public prosecutor, it is necessary to enumerate his powers in administrative proceedings and compare them with the competences of “ordinary” entities with the rights of a party.

The article concerns the principle of speed in the proceedings regarding the implementation of infrastructure investments. The analysis of individual legal institutions is aimed at assessing statutory regulations of investment acts in the scope of the principle of speed. The aim of the analysis is to verify the assertion that the implementation of specific law-related rules in special investment documents connected with giving priority to the speed of administrative proceedings followed the constitutional principle of proportionality. As a result of the conducted analysis, it should be stated that the implementation of the principle of speed of proceedings to investment acts does not fundamentally violate the essence of constitutional rights of individuals – including the right to challenge decisions and the right to protect of rightly acquired rights. The legislator limits the principles of transparency, as well as the principle of active participation of the party in administrative proceedings, but does not eliminate these principles. Regardless of this, the legislator infringes in the analyzed Acts the essence of the party’s right to submit an application for temporary protection in administrative proceedings. The legislator violates in a qualified manner – due to the public interest – the rule of law and two-instance, preventing the appeals authority in the course of the instance of repealing the decision in its entirety, if the defect affects only its part concerning the property.

This chapter examines the role of the public prosecutor in Anglophone Africa, in the light of two constitutional principles: the separation of powers and the rule of law. It considers the extent to which the prosecutor’s role, and his individual decisions, ought to be separated from ‘policy’ or ‘party-political’, or otherwise ‘partisan’ considerations. How ‘objective’ should (or can) he be? The chapter also considers to what extent the prosecutor’s constitutional role and institutional functions require him to be insulated from judicial review. In the context of government lawyers acting as guardians of the rule of law, the chapter looks at the extent of the prosecutor’s discretion to enforce and not to enforce the law. Finally, it asks whether there may be ways to structure his discretion in the interest of the rule of law.
