The Master's thesis addresses the issue of completeness and finality in administrative relations and ensuring the stability of administrative relations. It first defines the substance of these institutions and explains the relationship between the completeness and finality of administrative decision and between the finality of administrative decisions and the finality of judicial decisions issued in an administrative dispute. The thesis focuses on positions in which the Administrative Court of the Republic of Slovenia, within an administrative dispute over the legality of a final administrative act, issues a judgment annulling that act. The central issue concerns the effect of the finality of the judgment on renewed administrative decision-making and on the repeated administrative dispute, and the impact of subsequent changes in the legal and factual grounds for the established illegality on the scope of the assessment by the competent administrative authorities and the Administrative Court.
The main contribution of the thesis is an analysis of the limits of the effect of a final judgment on the annulment of an administrative act, using analogous application of the rules of civil procedural law on subjective, objective, and temporal limits of finality. The limits of the effect of a final judgment annulling an administrative act are reflected in the Administrative Court's binding nature of its own final judgment, to which a special section is devoted in the task. The same section explains how such binding of the court is justified by the constitutional guarantees set forth in Articles 2, 23, and 158 of the Constitution of Slovenia. I conclude with the theoretical finding that the mutual binding nature of the final judgments on the annulment of administrative acts in other disputes concerning other claims is similar to the understanding in civil proceedings, as it establishes a horizontal precedent effect.
