Power of attorney in administrative procedures: General principles and credibility assessment

Creators

Description

A party’s proxy often plays a very important role in administrative proceedings, including in the course of applying for international protection. The institution of a proxy is closely related to the need to strengthen the position of a party to proceedings vis-à-vis the public administration. One has to fully agree with the statement that ‘the right to support and representation is recognised as one of the canons of administrative proceedings in view of European standards’,5 and the right to appoint an attorney guarantees ‘a fuller realisation of the principle of active participation of a party in administrative proceedings’.
