Abstract

Nowadays, it is more often a problem that wild animals appear on the territory of municipalities and usually cause alarm among the residents. However, these animals usually do not only enter the territory of one settlement, but also "visit" the settlements in each other's catchment area, in accordance with the structure of the Hungarian small village settlement. We consider it necessary to have a professional signaling system connecting several settlements, even at the district level, which can be used to send an immediate signal to the affected settlements in case of wildlife detection in the territory of local government, so that they can take the necessary preliminary - professional protection - measures. In this way, municipalities can prepare professionally for the appearance of wild animals. With this signaling system, unexpected appearances and unprofessional "reception" of the wild animals could be avoided.

The Act of CL, 2016 on the general administrative procedure (Ákr.) as a framework legislation leaves many procedural issues open, which are filled with content by individual sectoral legislation. A question may arise as to whether the Ákr. so to what extent can it be considered a flexible law, to what extent and where does it allow deviations from its rules? Can we find the Ákr. among its provisions, those where it would be worthwhile to introduce norms allowing for further deviations, especially in those life situations where the delay in implementation could even endanger the public interest? And this thought also leads to the center of our research, the question of immediate enforceability. Because in this respect, it cannot be said that Ákr. flexible legislation, partly due to the exhaustive list, and partly due to the exclusion of consideration. We focus our research on this problem and on the conflicts caused by wild animals, which are increasingly prominent nowadays.
