The Administrative Court has implemented its 20-year Master Plan (2018 - 2037) which is based on the vision of “rendering fair, speedy, and timely administrative justice for the enhancement of good governance in society and the achievement of court excellence”. In addition, the President of the Supreme Administrative Court determined a policy for the Administrative Court prescribing fiscal year 2020, as “The Year of Administrative Justice Development in Compliance with International Standards”. By virtue of the President of the Supreme Administrative Court’s Order No. 54/2562, dated 28 October 2019, the Commission for the Development of Performance Standards in the Administrative Courts under the International Framework for Judicial Organisations was established. Subsequently, the Commission considered the relevant international framework and identified practices and timeframe for the development of performance standards in the Administrative Courts (Phase I). Initially, the Commission viewed that there should be three pilot courts: Chiang Mai Administrative Court; Ubon Ratchathani Administrative Court; and Nakhon Sawan Administrative Court. Upon agreement of court personnel, the Presidents of these three courts agreed to pilot the development of performance standards.

    To ensure clarity, continuation, and sustainability in the development of performance standards in the pilot courts - the executives of the Administrative Courts, the executive of the Office of the Administrative Courts, and the Commission entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Following, are the details of that MOU.
