Preparation of letters in administrative proceedings in the field of environmental protection WF-OB-POPPA
The preparation of letters is intended to expand knowledge and skills relating to the handling of cases settled by administrative proceedings leading to an administrative decision.
Drafting a letter will be a form of consolidation of knowledge about specific issues (e.g. the structure of a power of attorney), learning the legal consequences of submitting a letter and learning the legal consequences of errors contained therein.
The course also includes the analysis of letters from a party from the perspective of a public administration body. Then, it will be connected with preparation by the student of a project of settling a case, both in the case of letters fulfilling legal requirements and those containing defects.
