The master's thesis analyses the treatment of administrative matters in the practice of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). It seeks to explore how the ECtHR understands administrative matters and to what extent the classification of a case as administrative affects the Court's proceedings.
The theoretical introduction presents the key aspects of the administrative matter in Slovenia and the protection of human rights in this context, followed by a presentation of the main points of the protection and procedure before the ECtHR, with a view to situating the research area of the protection of administrative cases before the ECtHR within the broader perspective of Convention protection.
The main part of the thesis focuses on an overview of the ECtHR case law on the treatment of administrative matters in the context of selected articles of the European Convention on Human Rights ("ECHR"), with a focus on Article 6(1), where the case law and criteria of the ECtHR that have brought administrative cases under the protection of the article in question are presented, as well as the impact of the right to a fair trial on administrative proceedings. In addition to Article 6, a selection of case law is also presented in the context of Articles 8, 9 and 13 ECHR and Article 1 of Protocol No 1, concerning selected administrative areas which are among the most typical and common in practice.
