SPROSTOWANIE ORZECZENIA W POLSKIM, SŁOWACKIM I CZESKIM POSTĘPOWANIU SĄDOWOADMINISTRACYJNYM
JUDGMENT RECTIFICATION IN POLISH, SLOVAK, AND CZECH ADMINISTRATIVE COURT PROCEDURE

Summary/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.
