The article examines the rules of evidence in the Italian
system of administrative justice and shows how the issue of rules
of evidence does not seem of a secondary importance in relation to
other issues of administrative justice such as jurisdiction, the
powers of the judge, preliminary injunctions, compliance, etc., but
it is considered “the central moment of the whole administrative
trial”. The aim is to highlight the leitmotiv of Benvenuti’s analysis
referred to the position of inferiority of the citizen vis-à-vis the
public administration and his prospective of creating new concept
of relationships among Public Administration and Citizens based
on the theory of egalitarian administrative law, which would
come (and then has come) into an existence through the creation
of legal tools within the administrative procedure and the
administrative trial and their further improvement.
