Abstract

469 The authors pass in review (inter alia) the regulation of ownership, the planning system, civil rights, the federalization of the country and the judicial orga- nization. The authors consider the law on administrative procedure of 1967 as a "good law", on the basis of which "good" administration of justice is effected. They must, however, ascertain that the scope of the law is quite narrow; it has been limited in practice to acts of the organs of local power (National Committees). Conflicts of a political nature between state and citizen, such as those relating to Charter 77 and problems of other dissidents and non-conformists, cannot be settled through that law. These problems cannot be solved on a "legal" basis at all. Judicial review of administrative acts is confined to four categories (pensions, health insurance, errors in electoral lists, and admission to institutions for mentally disturbed), a list smaller than can be seen in some other socialist states. Each section of the book contains an accurate translation of the pertinent law(s), preceded by a short but snappy introduction providing for a critical, penetrating analysis, not neglecting the historical aspects whenever necessary. Lists for further reading are also included. I Th. J.
