Celem presents the assumptions and implications of the 2012 reform of the administrative judiciary in Austria (Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeits-Novelle 2012). This reform is referred to as the ‘Century Reform’ in Austria, as it was the result of the biggest and most far-reaching change in the Austrian Constitution since its entry into force in 1920. The reform has been debated for a long time, but due to the reluctance of Austrian politicians to reform in this area, it was no longer expected or expected. The concept of ‘Century Reform’ also reflects the astonishment of the happy window of opportunity in Austria’s policies, which allowed the implementation of this long-awaited reform. However, this wording should not obscure the fact that the reform of the administrative judiciary in Austria was not a particular innovation in the international context: rather, it consisted of largely late alignment with international standards in other European countries many years earlier. However, the reorganisation of the legal protection system also includes changes which in fact constitute a ‘new land’ in Austria. The following sections of the study, having reviewed the historical developments and the basis and framework of the ‘new’ administrative judiciary in organisational and procedural terms, set out in more detail the characteristics of the current legal protection system in Austria.
