Sprostowanie orzeczenia w polskim, słowackim i czeskim postępowaniu sądowoadministracyjnym

Abstract

Judgments (rulings and decisions) issued in administrative court procedures can be affected by minor defects which, while not impacting their legal existence, must nevertheless be remedied. If a judgment contains inaccuracies, clerical and accounting errors, or other obvious mistakes, a corrective measure in the form of a rectification is applied (ex officio or upon application). This procedural institution exists in the Polish administrative court procedure (Article 156 § 1 p.p.s.a.) as well as in the Slovak (§ 143 sentence 1 s.s.p.) and the Czech (§ 54(4) sentence 1 s.ř.s.) procedures. Despite the differences, which predominantly concern the effect of the application of this measure, in each of the procedures discussed herein, rectification consists in an exception from the self-binding effect and serves to eliminate the minor defects of a judgment, which is in the interests of both the judiciary and parties to proceedings.
