Course contents :  Consequences of annulment decisions and dismissal decisions pronounced by the Council of State pursuant to Article 14 of the Law of 12 January 1973.

After having assessed the authority of those decisions, the following topics will be examined, on the basis of case-law:

◊ Repair of the annulled act - such repair is sometimes impossible, sometimes optional, sometimes compulsory; in principle, it occurs without retroactive effect
◊ Acts that are contrary to the annulled act
◊ Consequences of annulment decisions on acts that are similar to annulled acts
◊ Consequences of annulment decisions on acts stemming from annulled acts
◊ Consequences of annulment of acts which can be detached from procurement contracts on those contracts
