Types of Dereliction of Duty and Disciplinary Sanctions

Anica Drmić ; the City of Zagreb

Abstract

The author analyses the types of dereliction of duty and appropriate disciplinary sanctions in Croatian legislation. Croatian legislation is compared with Austrian, French, Slovenian, Bosnian, and Serbian solutions. Croatian legislation differentiates between gross and minor dereliction of duty, as well as between the respective sanctions. Various derelictions and corresponding sanctions have been dealt with in the paper, accompanied by the available examples of relevant decisions of the Administrative Court and civil servants’courts. There is a separate analysis of the role of ethical codes in securing civil servants’discipline. Suspension is a procedural measure analysed and emphasised as a measure that simultaneously represents a form of sanctioning the civil servants who have committed particularly gross dereliction of duty.
