Overview of German Administrative Law
German administrative law governs the legal relationship between citizens and public authorities. It is primarily codified in the Verwaltungsverfahrensgesetz (VwVfG), which establishes principles for administrative procedure, administrative acts, and judicial review. The Verwaltungsgerichtsordnung (VwGO) provides the procedural framework for challenging administrative decisions in the administrative courts.
