The aim of this paper to examine the comparative practice of German and Austrian administrative judicial law and to then compare them with the positive Croatian regulations on administrative disputes, and also with the Administrative Disputes Bill which Parliament after the first reading accepted on July 3, 2009. Hence, an attempt is made to establish how much progress the Croatian administrative judicial law will make by passing this new Act. Due to the limiting sphere of this paper, only some issues related to this Bill will be analysed, that is, those related to the subject of administrative dispute. The basic issue here is of ensuring court protection from administrative actions and then the issue of the composition of the court which will deal with administrative disputes, and finally there is the issue of holding verbal hearings which has sparked much debate between Croatian and foreign legal experts. We hope that this paper will contribute to better understanding of these issues for the Croatian public and also to the possible improvement of some legal solutions.
