Abstract/Description:

Western administrative law has built the theory of invalidity through the concepts of voidness –characterized by imprescriptibility– and voidability. This technical dichotomy, part of the Western tradition since Roman law, has been developed differently in various Anglo-American, European and Latin American legal systems. Some of them have developed a monism based on voidness, some a monism based on voidability, and others a dualism combining both categories, revealing diverse preferences in the building of the Rule of Law.
