Inventář, 1970, 298 s., ev. č. 698. The Supreme Administrative Court in Prague with jurisdiction over the whole of Czechoslovakia was established on the basis of Act No. 3/1918 Sb. z. a n. The Act defined only the organizational principles relying on the wording of the old Austrian laws. The direct predecessor of the Supreme Administrative Court in Prague was the Administrative Court of Justice in Vienna. It specialized in assessing the legality of decisions of administrative bodies, mainly of a civil nature, and only exceptionally it was invited to revise defective laws. The system conceived in this way was also adopted in the newly established Czechoslovakia as the Supreme Administrative Court.
