Administrative court
The contracts between authorities and legal persons governed by private law fall usually to the jurisdiction of the general court system.In Sweden and Finland, legality of decisions of both state agencies and municipal authorities can be appealed to the administrative courts.In the case of state agencies, administrative courts may rule on the actual content of the decision.In American jurisprudence, ALJs are always regarded as part of the executive branch, despite their quasi-judicial adjudicative role, because of the strict separation of powers imposed by the United States Constitution.Notably, in 1952, the Communist East German government abolished the administrative courts as "bourgeois".
