A NOTE ON ADOLF MERKL'S THEORY
OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
On the Occasion of the 70th Anniversary of
the Publication
of Merkl's "General Administrative Law"
Zoran Jelić
Federal Government of Yugoslavia
Abstract. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the publication
of the monograph "Allgemeines Verwaltungsrecht" (General Administrative
Law), authored by Adolf Merkl, an eminent representative of the Viennese
School of Law, this note succinctly presents the salient determinants of
his theory of administrative law, enunciated in accordance with Kelsen's
principles of what is known as his pure theory of law. It is indubitable
that in the history of the science of administrative law great credit indeed
goes to Merkl for having clearly and precisely defined, delineated and
thoroughly theoretically elaborated a standard corpus of pertinent problems
which should and must be studied by this relatively young legal discipline,
placing it thus, as it were, side by side with its senior paragons, in
particular the science of private law.
Key words: General Administrative Law, Viennese School
of Law, history of legal thought
ZAPIS O TEORIJI UPRAVNOG PRAVA ADOLFA
MERKLA
Povodom 70 godina od objavljivanja monografije "Alligemeine Verwaltungsrecht"
iz pera Adolfa Merkla, istaknutog predstavnika bečke pravne škole, u ovom
zapisu se izlažu, na sažet način, osnovne odrednice njegove teorije upravnog
prava, izgrađene u skladu sa principima Kelsenove čiste pravne doktrine.
U istoriji nauke upravnog prava Merklu, bez sumnje, pripada krupna zasluga
što je jasno i precizno definisao, omeđio i temeljno teorijski obradio
standardni krug relevantnih problema koje treba i mora da proučava ova
relativno mlada pravna disciplina i tako je gotovo stavio uz bok sa njenim
starijim uzorima, posebno naukom privatnog prava.
