That very need for proportionate and reasonable actions of the administration has led to establishing one of the basic principles in the process of issuing administrative acts, the participation of the interested parties in the procedure before the administrative authority. This is achieved by the requirement that, before issuing the act, the authority is to gather the opinions and statements of the members of the public who will be affected by it and to reflect them in the final act. The guarantee that members of the public will be allowed to participate in the procedure and influence the final content of the act is the judicial review of the administrative act.
