Abstract
This paper analyzes the powers of the High Administrative Court of the Republic of Croatia as an appellate court when deciding on appeals against judgments, i.e. decisions of the first-instance administrative courts, in light of the comprehensive reform of the administrative dispute as of 1 January 2012. The steps of the appeal procedure from examining the grounds of the appeal to be decided on the basis of established facts to adjudication based on the established facts are presented in detail. Furthermore, focus is placed on certain problems identified in case law when applying provisions of the new Administrative Dispute Act, as well as doubts for which settled case law offers no answers. Finally, observations on normative regulations of this part of the administrative dispute are put forward, while providing for possible directions of future legal changes.
