Abstract

Legal systems use various methods to resolve their administrative disputes, and each of them follows a specific model for administrative adjudication depending on various factors. The special conditions of the country and its historical, political and social contexts determine the special features of its judicial system. The method of expressing the content in this article is descriptive and the purpose of the article is to introduce different models of adjudications without prioritizing a particular system. In this article, according to the criteria of the structure of the adjudication, the method of conducting the adjudication in the form of inquisitorial or adversarial, and open or closed judicial supervision, the four types of administrative adjudication have been identified. In the first model, the procedure is adversarial. Administrative agencies perform a combined function (administrative-judicial) and limited judicial review is applied in general courts. In the second model, adjudication is carried out by courts independent of administrative bodies and by adversarial method. Finally, closed judicial review is applied in general courts. In the third model, adjudication is conducted by special courts in a inquisitorial and open manner. And finally, the characteristic of the fourth model is open judicial review in general courts.
