Lectures in administrative law XXVII

Abstract

Previously, I dedicated an extensive segment entitled ‘What is an Administrative Act?'. Within that section, I asserted that a thorough grasp of the fundamental nature of administrative acts mandates consultation of the definitions stipulated within the confines of the indigenous legislative structure. Two instances exemplifying these definitions are readily identifiable within the legal framework of Malta, precisely encapsulated in Chapter 12 and Chapter 490. The scope of the designation "administrative act," as defined in Chapter 12 through Article 469A, a subject we are poised to extensively explore in the near future, encompasses the act of a public authority issuing various instruments, including but not limited to orders, licenses, permits, warrants, decisions, or denials, in response to claims presented by a petitioner.
