Conditions and Causes of a Conflict of Judicial Decisions Based on the Precedent of the General Board of Administrative Justice Court (AJC)

According to Articles 12 (2) and 89 of the Act on Organization and procedure of Administrative Justice Court (1392), the legislator has identified the uniform judicial precedent as a competence of General Board of AJC, in cases where conflicting of judicial decisions issued by one or more branch of this court. Therefore the question arises: What is meant by inconsistency of judicial decisions and when conflict arises? This paper, by case- study of the precedents of the General Board of AJC, aims to explain the concept and conditions (formal and substantive) of the inconsistency of judicial decisions, as well as the various factors that have led to differing interpretations among the branches of AJC.
