P.A.O. Cursus: Bestuursrecht
In het staats- en bestuursrecht never a dull moment!
In Aruba is het bestuursrecht verrijkt met de Landsverordening algemene bepalingen bestuursrecht, in Nederland wordt de Algemene wet bestuursrecht aangevuld met een aantal voorschriften ter versterking van de waarborgfunctie van deze wet. Deze cursus gegeven door prof. mr. dr. Herman Bröring staat in het teken van deze wijzigingen. Tijdens de cursus zal het onder meer gaan over bepalingen over het horen van belanghebbenden, het motiveren van besluiten en het versoepelen van bezwaar- en beroepstermijnen. Horen deze extra voorschriften in de Awb ook een plaats in het Arubaans bestuursrecht te krijgen? Of maken ze eigenlijk al deel uit van dit recht?
