Abstract

The text examines the following topics: the administrative trial code in the context of a transformation of the system of administrative justice inspired by the primacy of the values of functional unity of the jurisdictions and the effectiveness and completeness of the protection; the enunciation of the fundamental principles regarding administrative jurisdiction and the trial that is the execution thereof, as a guide for the interpretation and application of the code; the assignment to the judge and the parties of the duty to co-operate in the realisation of reasonable duration, and the ordinary modalities for the holding of the trial; the opportunities offered at the time of precautionary deliberation for purposes of a more orderly, swifter holding of the trial; is there room for handling ordinary contentious procedure without condemning it to an epilogue of unforeseeable and overly lengthy duration?
