Abstract

An act or a decision that results in restriction of an individual right can be considered proportionate if it pursues a legitimate aim and is logically related to it and uses a coherent tool that entails the lowest cost. Therefore, the proportionality test is based on the cost-benefit analysis. The proportionality principle is a structure and methodological tool as well as an intelligent procedure for reviewing the actions of public authorities. One of the Administrative Court of Justice objectives is to ensure the officials and institutions actions proportionality by directing them toward the legislative goals and preventing organizations, departments and their staffs from violating the law or using disproportionate measures. The principle of proportionality can help to achieve this goal. However, the examination of the aforesaid institution's approach does not reveal any systematic and structured implementation of the above-mentioned principle. In some cases, an implicit respect for the principle of proportionality concept can be observed, although the opinion in accordance with the above principle is not cited.
