What you should know and who can use this service

You can repeal or amend a decision once it is final. A decision is final when it cannot be appealed against or when you cannot file an application for re-examination of the case (e.g. when the deadline for an appeal or an application to have the case re-examined has already expired).
 
The procedure for repealing or amending a decision depends on whether any parties have acquired any rights as a result of the decision (such as a licence, authorisation or permit). If no party has acquired any right, the decision may be repealed or amended at any time by the authority which issued it, provided this is in line with the public interest or any legitimate interests of the party. If as a result of such decision a party has acquired a right, then this decision may be repealed or amended only if the party who has acquired those rights consents to such repeal or amendment.

Good to know

Also, any final decisions may be repealed or amended by the Minister as far as necessary, if it is the only way to: 

  • put an end to a situation that endangers human life or health, 
  • prevent serious damage to the national economy or important interests of the State.

If as a result of the repeal or amendment of the decision you have suffered actual damage, you are entitled to compensation. Please note that the right to compensation expires after 3 years from the date on which the decision to revoke or amend the original decision has become final.
