Summary/Abstract: One of the measures allowing for the verification of an administrative decision is its annulment in case of extremely severe defects of a substantive nature which are inherent in the decision itself. The disclosure of some of these defects gives rise to the annulment of the decision at any time. Against this background, there are doubts which can be perceived in the context of justice as the basic idea of law and the main purpose of law. In this respect, the scientific considerations are justified because of several reasons: 1) the position of the Constitutional Tribunal expressed in its judgment of 12 May 2015 contesting to a certain extent the existing legal solutions; 2) the limitation of the annulment of a decision at any time by specific provisions provided in separate acts, 3) the content of the report on the work of the group established in 2012 by the President of the Supreme Administrative Court in order to develop the concept of the amendments of the administrative procedure.
