Selected aspects of electronic administration. Comments on means of communication between parties to general administrative proceedings and public authorities

Abstract

This article is an attempt to present the essence of electronic communication between clients (other parties to the proceeding) and administrative authorities in general administrative proceedings. It also presents advancements in the modern technologies of the 20th and 21st century (such as telegram, telex, fax) and especially means of electronic communication, which took place in recent years in Poland. In its essence, electronic administration enables communication through strictly electronic means, eliminating the need for physical contact, as a result of which it is not necessary for parties to the proceeding and a body of public administration, to be present at the same time in the same place. Objectives of electronic administration are among the main factors allowing to overcome the problem of time and space in this modern organizational concept of state.
