It is necessary to present views of legal science and jurisdiction of administrative courts. The judicial direction of administrative courts is not beneficial for achieving investments; it does not even take into account that one of the investors’ purposes – forest districts – is nature management. Presenting the contrary argumentation to judicature positions should help courts make a proper assessment in the interpretation of provisions.
