03.11.1922 Rec., 790 Case Dame Cachet While ministers have power themselves to annul ex officio any administrative decision which confers rights but is flawed by illegality of such a nature as to entail its annulment in legal proceedings, they can do so only while the limitation period for legal challenge has not expired
Where proceedings have been commenced, the minister, after expiry of the period and so long as the Conseil d’Etat has not issued a decision, may still himself, in order to bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion, annul the challenged act in so far as it was the object of the said legal proceedings; but he can do so only within the limits of such annulment as was sought by the applicant, and has no power to infringe the vested rights of a party under a decision which, within the relevant limitation periods, has been neither challenged nor recalled
