Abstract
The aim of this piece of research is to analyse the constitutional references of Article
52 of the Constitution of Romania, namely the guarantee of the right of a person aggrieved
by a p ublic authority. Therefore, the guarantee of this fundamental rights helps ensure the
good administration of the rule of law, the respect for the legitimate rights and interests of
Romanian citizens and, implicitly, of Romanian businesses environment. Good
administration concerns the interest of both natural persons and legal persons who are
engaged in the economic circuit and whose rights are granted by the fundamental law. Good
administration is accomplished by granting the fundamental right of a person aggrieved
through an administrative deed or through a request which was not settled within the legal
time limit and, at the same time, by granting to that person a right to approach the competent
authorities and to be entitled to obtain the recognition of the claimed right or of the legitimate
interest, with the annulment of the deed and the repair of prejudice, respectively. The liability
of the State for miscarriage of justice, as well as its right of recourse against the magistrates
who acted in bad faith or serious neglect in their position are also granted. The methods used
in drawing up this study are: the comparative method used to identify the right of a person
aggrieved by a public authority in the Romanian Constitutions and in th e Constitutions of
other states, and the historic al method, which was used in the analysis o f the historical
evolution of the studied field. The logical method served to analyse the current research in
the field, while the sociological metho d helped to study social impact. The quantitative
method was used to study the relevant applicable legislation. The results of this research
have highlighted the current trends and the need of citizens and economic actors to benefit
from good administration by public authorities. The implications of research for ensuring
the good administration of citizens, economic agents a nd implicitly, of the business
environment, reveals how impo rtant it is to ensure the supreme values, granted by the
Constitution, namely the right of a person aggrieved by a public authority, a fundamental
right analysed in this study.

relationship with public authorities, the need for public safety and security and the
need to guarantee the fundamental rights of the citizen in a rule of law.
