On Certain Procedural Aspects of Agricultural Subsidy Law

Absztrakt

As a judge assigned to the Public Administration Chamber of the Győr Regional Court, I adjudicate in administrative cases, and in addition to my work, as a fourth-year student of the Doctoral School of Law and Political Sciences of the Széchenyi István University, I research the system of agricultural subsidies and judicial case law. The aim of my doctoral thesis is to provide a comprehensive overview of the Hungarian system of agricultural subsidies and the jurisprudence of agricultural subsidy law by examining the agricultural law literature, national and EU legislation, the practice of farmers’ organisations, agricultural and rural development support bodies and case law collected in courts. The questions examined in the research concern the normative clarity of legislation on agricultural subsidies, the equivalence of the functions assigned to agricultural subsidies and the precedent practice available in this specific field.

My research in this area focuses not only on the history, functions and substantive law of agricultural subsidy law, but also on its procedural law. In this study, I address the jurisdictional problems that arise in agricultural law disputes and the issues arising from the relationship between general and special administrative procedural law.
