Annulment of an act by a commune and municipality council

Abstract

A resolution or a decree issued by a commune and municipality, district or voivoideship authority that is contrary to law is void. Annulment of such act of a local authority is recognised as a basic means of supervision. Accordingly, respective rules of conduct and procedure have been developed in relation to that means. Additionally, the law on commune and municipality and district self-government contains a reference to an appropriate application of the provisions of the Code of Administrative Procedure. This measure, however, has an adverse effect to that intended
– instead of simplifying the proceedings in annulment; it has complicated them and led to many questions and conflicts emerging at the point where both acts overlap.

If a supervisory authority has not independently pronounced an act (decree) void within 30 days of delivery, its annulment may only be affected by an administrative court pursuant to a complaint filed by the supervisory authority. However, not all possible circumstances have been
foreseen in the applicable law.
