The APPC establishes the procedure for exercising administrative discretion (as a principle).
At the same time, the law establishes the concept of "administrative discretion", which means the authority of an administrative body, an official, to make one of the possible decisions based on an assessment of their legality for the purposes and limits established by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
An administrative body or official is obliged to exercise administrative discretion within the limits established by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The adoption of administrative acts and the performance of administrative actions in the exercise of administrative discretion must correspond to the purpose of this authority.
The APPC establishes that the violation of the above principles, depending on its nature and materiality, entails the recognition of an administrative act or a court decision as illegal.
Thus, the principles should serve as criteria for effective and full control by a higher authority or court over the decisions of administrative bodies, especially those made on the basis of administrative discretion (discretion).
