Description Reasoning contained in administrative decisions has a long tradition in the Czech Republic. This is confirmed by the fact that already the doctrine and practice of the First republic, including case law of Supreme administrative court, implemented and developed the duty of the administrative bodies to reason their decisions. Although in the period between 1948–1989 reasoning often became a formal appendix of decision and real motivations remained hidden, currently there are imposed, on the reasoning of administrative acts (also measure of general nature), growing quality requirements. This has significant influence on the case law. The authors of this paper also examined the major functions that may, or are able to, fulfil the reasoning of an administrative act in relation to the protection of public individual rights and public interest. The authors also highlighted the possibility of reasoning to support efficient process of communication between administrative bodies and courts. In this context the authors focused on the so-called “Completeness of reasoning” concept. The authors pointed out the fact that the potential of proper reasoning is not completely exhausted especially in respect to prospective and desirable use of its mediation function. The authors then concluded that obligation of reasoning, its scope, weight, and also the importance for administrative bodies and courts evolved into the principle of proper reasoning.
