Opinia prawna do komisyjnego projektu ustawy o zmianie ustawy – Kodeks postępowania administracyjnego (druk nr 1090)

The author provides an opinion on the original bill (before the adoption of amendments). The bill is aimed at implementing the judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal concerning the admissibility of declaration of invalidity of an administrative decision issued with a gross infringement of law, when a significant period of time has passed since the decision was issued and the decision was the basis for acquiring a right or an expectancy. The thirty-year period for the declaration of invalidity of such a decision may lead to the limitation of the principle of durability of an administrative decision. According to the author, the refusal to initiate administrative proceedings would exclude the possibility of the so-called prejudication.
