This article examines the historical formation, legal nature, and stages of development of the institution of interim protective measures in administrative proceedings. It analyzes the evolution of this institution from the interdicts of Ancient Roman law to its subsequent development within the legal systems of Germany, France, England, and the United States, as well as its legal consolidation within the administrative justice system of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The study further explores existing challenges associated with the application of interim protective measures, including evaluative concepts contained in legislation and inconsistencies in judicial practice, and proposes recommendations aimed at improving this legal institution. Particular attention is paid to comparative legal analysis and the role of interim protection in ensuring effective judicial protection of rights and legitimate interests.
