Administrative law

Every day, countless decisions are made in the Netherlands by all levels of government. All of them are governed by administrative law.
Both the formation of administrative decisions and the ways in which they may be challenged are governed by a single uniform statute, the Dutch General Administrative Law Act (Algemene wet bestuursrecht). The decisions themselves are based on special legislation, which comprises thousands of regulations.
