This master thesis examines the right to good administration in the context of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The Charter protects the fundamental rights of individuals in relation to the institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the European Union, as well as in relation to the conduct of national authorities when acting within the framework of Union law. The right to good administration is key to ensuring impartiality, fairness and prompt treatment. The master thesis analyses the theoretical aspects of the right to good administration and its application in case law. The problem of the limited scope of Article 41 of the Charter, which governs the right to good administration, is presented. Through an analysis of case law in the Republic of Slovenia and some EU Member States, it is shown how the courts interpret and apply the right. In doing so, the thesis examines the relevance and meaning of the right to good administration in the Republic of Slovenia. The results obtained are shown with regard to the importance of consistent respect for good administration, not only as a right, but also as a general principle of European Union law for the protection of citizens' fundamental rights and democratic values in the European Union.
