As part of public law, administrative law includes the entire law of public administration (executive) of the state, in particular the authorities and corporations under public law.
Administrative law
Administrative law is divided into general and special administrative law.
General administrative law is regulated in particular in the Federal Administrative Procedure Act (VwVfG) or the respective state administrative procedure laws (e.g. BayVwVfG, HmbVwVfG) for the state authorities. General administrative law deals with the general principles of administration such as the administrative procedure, the forms of administrative action (administrative act, legal regulation, statutes, public law contract, etc.) or the organization of administration. The general provisions of administrative enforcement are also part of general administrative law.
Special administrative law regulates specific areas of public administration. The regulations of special administrative law supplement or modify the regulations of general administrative law in order to meet the different factual and subject-specific requirements of the respective administrative area.
