Administrative silence in Lithuania: case law and data from the administrative oversight institutions
ENAdministrative silence is a phenomenon which contemporary legal systems based on the rule of law, good governance and respect for human rights can no longer afford themselves to ignore. Even if no panacea to this pernicious practice can be found, by uncovering the scope and identifying the reasons for its manifestations in various fields of public administration, plausible solutions can be developed at the legislative as well as at the managerial level. This report thus seeks to do that by analyzing the significance and conceptualization of (the notion) of administrative silence within the strategic and legal framework of Lithuania, its constitutional links, different models thereof, theoretical considerations and finally its actual use in practice. The latter part entails delving into data and insights provided by relevant actors vested with powers to eradicate administrative silence, and examining the case law developed by Lithuanian administrative courts. Keywords: Administrative silence; Lithuania; Ombudsman; Prejudicial dispute resolution; Public administration reforms. [Publisher annotation]
