Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to justify the need to amend the provision that establishes a procedural preclusion period, excluding the resumption of court proceedings five years after the administrative court's decision became final. As currently drafted, it may prevent the realisation of the right to a court in extraordinary situations, which the legislator considered to justify a court retrial. Therefore, the author formulates a proposal to amend and extend the time limit specified in Article 278 of the Law on Proceedings before Administrative Courts to ten years, following the example of Article 408 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
