The Control of Administrative Activity

All the dimensions of administrative law and their respective transformations that we alluded to in the previous chapters have a special relevance and impact on the control of administrative activity. It is important to emphasise that one of the main effects of the excesses attributed to individualism is the corresponding turbolitigiousness to which it gives rise due to the massification of disputes and the attempt to reconcile all of them to violations of fundamental rights—a reality for which the judiciary has not prepared itself and that is at the root of the “alleged problem” of the delay in justice. Another effect, more dramatic for the disruption of the social and normative model of liberal states, is the judicialisation of political issues or, if we prefer, the instrumental politicisation of judicial control, aggravated by the mediatisation of jurisdictional conflicts.
