Adoption and operation of a discretionary administrative act is always a very sensitive issue in the theory of administrative law. On one side, the effective activity of administrative bodies would be impossible without such acts, but, on the other side, if these acts in the practice are presented in big quintets, administrative arbitrariness may arise. Therefore, judicial review over discretionary administrative acts is the very important part of the theory of administrative law.

The author of the article tries to analyze the current state of the theory of administrative discretion, highlight the main stages of its formation, summarize the available methods of checking discretionary administrative acts, and draw conclusions about their improvement. To achieve the purpose of the study, the author conducts a brief analysis of the definition of administrative discretion. The article also presents its differentiation from administrative arbitrariness; investigates the criteria for checking discretionary administrative acts; and summarizes the methods of such verification.
