The adoption on 8 March 2015 of the Code of Administrative Proceedings of the Russian

Federation actualized the problem of improving the norms of administrative law governing

numerous administrative procedures, including those not related to the resolution of public

law disputes. Comparative legal studies indicate the need for codification of not only the rules

governing the resolution of disputes in the field of management, but also the norms governing

the core of the normal administrative process – management procedures of a positive

orientation (administrative proceedings). In this regard, the Act of Japan of 12 November

1993 No. 88 “On Administrative Procedure”, adopted much later than its European

counterparts and claiming to be more balanced and detailed, deserves attention.

Familiarization with the text of this Act in Russian can be useful for a wide range of

lawyers: representatives of the legislative and executive branches of government, scientists,

teachers, students of higher educational institutions, judges, lawyers, and other specialists

in the field of public law.

Keywords: public law; civil procedure; Administrative Procedure Act; Japan; foreign civil

procedure.
