Abstract

This article delineates the administrative justice process in the Netherlands and examines the issues, impediments, and resolutions pertaining to the operation of administrative law. The administrative judiciary in the Netherlands comprises a multi-tiered framework, consisting of the court of first instance, the court of appeal, and the supreme administrative court. The administrative procedure begins when individuals submit an appeal against a decision rendered by a public authority. If they are dissatisfied with the result, they may appeal to the administrative court or a specialized appellate court. This technique seeks to be clear, effective, and attainable. A notable problem resides in the intricacy of the multi-tiered structure, which can be perplexing and laborious for the public. Furthermore, the substantial caseload results in adjudication delays, presenting an additional hurdle.

Proposed remedies encompass the promotion of digital technology, the dissemination of clear information to the public, and the augmentation of court professionals to handle the burden. Proposed remedies encompass the promotion of digital technology, the dissemination of clear information to the public, and the augmentation of court professionals to handle the burden.
