What changes has the new Administrative Disputes Act (NN 36/24) brought us?
Application of the new Administrative Disputes Act (NN 36/24) The new Administrative Disputes Act (hereinafter: ADA) was published in the Official Gazette (Narodne novine) No. 36/24 and entered into force on 1 July 2024. At that time, the previous Administrative Disputes Act (Official Gazette Nos. 20/10, 143/12, 152/14, 94/16, 29/17, 110/21; hereinafter: the previous ADA) ceased to apply. The fundamental approach to the regulation of administrative disputes under the ADA has not changed. Nevertheless, the changes brought by the ADA are not minor, either in scope or significance.
