Administrative Law

The General Administrative Law Act (Awb) has been in existence for more than 25 years. The introduction of this law ensured that administrative law became a fair bit more accessible and less ambiguous. However, the Awb is not a static law. Indeed, the Awb is constantly in motion. On the one hand, due to court rulings (consider in this regard the verdicts on the principle of legitimate expectations and the forbearance decree). And on the other hand, due to new legislation, such as the Open Government Act (Woo), which has supersede the Government Information (Public Access) Act (Wob) and the Digital Government Act (Wdo). What are the most recent verdicts and what new legislation is to be introduced? What is the impact of these on the matters you are working on at present or will be working on in the near future?
