行政程序立法略论

行政法是行政实体法和行政程序法的有机统一。法律上的权利义务，既有实体的，也有程序的，违反程序义务同样应该承担法律责任。行政程序的基本要素中，步骤和方式，构成行政程序的空间表现形式；顺序和时限，构成行政程序的时间表现形式。行政程序应体现、贯彻一定的原则，并适用相应的制度。我国宪法为行政程序法律化提供了依据，《行政诉讼法》的制定，促进了行政程序立法的迅速发展，《立法法》、《行政复议法》中规定了许多具体程序，特别是《行政处罚法》第一次使听证程序进入我国立法，成为我国立法中的重大突破。展望未来，本世纪的头十年，必将是行政程序立法的高潮时期。

On Legislation of Administrative Procedure

Administrative law is an organic combination of both the law of administrative entities and the law of administrative procedure. As breach of the law of administrative entities, failure to discharge the obligations provided for by procedure should also take the corresponding legal responsibility. Of all the elements of administrative procedure, steps and manners take the form of space while the sequence and time limit take the form of time. Administrative procedure reflects certain principles and is executed under certain systems. The Constitution of our country has provided the basic foundation for legislation of administrative procedure, enactment of the Law of Administrative Litigation has greatly promoted the process, the Law of Legislation and the Law of Administrative Reconsideration have stipulated many concrete procedures, and the Law of Administrative Punishment, in particular, has opened up new land in legislation in our country by absorbing the procedure of evidentiary hearing into legislation. It can be safely predicted that the first decade of this century must be a prosperous time for legislation of administrative procedure.
