At the start of the pandemic, both the state and local governments took a number of steps to contain the spread of COVID-19. The decisions taken had an impact on the operation of state institutions and the consideration of citizens’ affairs. Under the so-called covid act (and the number of its subsequent amendments), some time limits stipulated in administrative law have been suspended. This provision, although in force for only a few months, raised many doubts. One of them has recently been dispelled by the Supreme Administrative Court.
