An ex officio review of urban planning licences and permits

Abstract

Ex officio reviews have a long-standing tradition in our legal system. Their purpose is to deprive of legal force administrative acts affected by serious unlawfulness, known as grounds of nullity ab initio. This study analyses the application of this procedure, and in particular the specific statutory grounds that permit an administrative act to be declared null and void ab initio, in reference to administrative authorisations for the purpose of urban planning

Keywords:
