Legal Factors of Legal QualityHerman BröringUniversity of Groningen - Faculty of Law Albertjan TollenaarUniversity of Groningen - Department of Administrative Law and Public Administration May 8, 2009 QUALITY OF DECISION-MAKING IN PUBLIC LAW, K.J. de Graaf, J.H. Jans, A.T. Marseille, J. de Ridder, eds., Europa Law Publishing, 2007 Abstract: Legal quality is a characteristic of administrative decision-making that is based on the law. This essay discusses how the law influences legal quality; in other words, what legal factors determine the legal quality of decision-making? To answer this question we describe three categories of legal factors that arguably have an influence on legal quality. The first category consists of factors connected with the relationship between the government and members of the public in administrative law (the administrative relationship). This relationship is the object of legal quality. In Dutch administrative law the relationship between government and members of the public is based on three basic concepts: the decision, the interested party and the public authority. The developments with regard to these concepts form the first group of legal factors. The second group of legal factors consists of the changing legal concepts and legal standards factors. The third group of legal factors can be found in the enforcement of these standards: judicial review and administrative supervisions as mechanisms to correct administrative behaviour.
