Two-level Litigation Before The Administrative Judiciary: Establishing The Principles Of Justice

Authors : Meraoumia Sabrina .

Abstract

The subject of two-level litigation is highly significant. This paper examines the extent to which the Algerian administrative judicial system enshrines this fundamental principle through the analysis of the various constitutional and legislative texts that illustrate the basis of bothsubject matter and territorial jurisdictions. The intention of both the constitutional founder and the Algerian legislator to establish the principles of justice in administrative disputes and to enhance the protection of individuals’ rights and freedom has become evident as illustrated in the newly created administrative judicial bodies, namely the “Administrative Courts of Appeal”. Indeed, two-level litigation can only be achieved through one mechanism only, that is the appeal, when the entire administrative dispute is transferred from the first instance to the second instance for re-examination of both factual and legal aspects and then, ensures the fulfilment of the purpose of this principle, which consists fundamentally, in safeguarding and guaranteeing the litigants’ rights.
