Le condizioni dell'azione nel processo amministrativo. Un'indagine comparata tra Italia e Germania

The research analyses the locus standi before administrative courts in Italy and Germany, in the perspective of the evolution of the aim and the scope of the judicial review of the administrative action. Starting from an examination of the historical outlines regarding the judicial review in the two systems, the current research explores the theoretical contours of the concepts of standing and interest to act, focusing also on the analysis of the judicial understanding of both these concepts. The analysis is conducted from a comparative point of view, through the study of the case law in the Italian and German legal systems. The aim pursued is to verify, through a comparison between the different experiences, the existence of a possible ongoing mutation - attributable to the Europeanisation of the administrative process - that alters the characteristics of the Italian and German administrative judgment in the access to protection. The comparative investigation shows how the changes that can be found in the judicial review of are in part analogous in the two legal systems and are connected to the importance of certain interests of a general nature at the legal level. It also makes it possible to reflect on the identification of a model capable of overcoming the difficulty regarding the compatibility between interests of a general nature and the predominantly subjective logic of the judicial review of administrative action in Italy and Germany.
