Abstract

According to article 66 paragraph 3 of the Czech Code of Administrative Justice, the Ombudsman is entitled to bring an action against a decision of an administrative body in case the decision is contrary to a public interest. This paper explains why the position of the Ombudsman is less favourable than the position of the Supreme Public Prosecutor and analyses the decision of the Supreme Administrative Court of the Czech Republic from 18 June 2015, no. 9 As 294/2014-114, dealing with the conditions of the Ombudsman's special right of action.
