La causa dell'annullamento d'ufficio

The article aims to clarify the concept of ‘consideration’ in the scope of public law, as applied to the wide range of so called self-redress or self-protection powers. Given their logical and legal foundation, these powers should be regarded as defined by a ‘mixed consideration’ or a mixed essence: what justifies and gives direction to the ex officio annulment of an administrative deed is both the same public interest underlying the first deed itself combined with a judicial purpose, which characterizes self-redress powers in the general system of Feliciano Benvenuti.
