Abstract: The author analyzes contents and specific features of the claim form of judicial proceedings in administrative proceedings. Topicality of this issue is due to the fact that the draft Administrative Proceedings Code of the Russian Federation has passed the first parliamentary reading. The object of studies includes the theoretical bases for the administrative claim as the means for the protection of public rights, as well as the newest Russian legislation regulating the judicial proceedings on cases arising of public law relations.
