Résumé Omnilex

The Administrative Court granted an application to correct the dispositive part of one of its judgments. It considered that the mistake was a calculation error that was not immediately apparent but was nevertheless manifest. On that basis, the court held that rectification was possible at any time and admitted the correction.

Regeste Omnilex

LPA 85; rectification of an operative part affected by a calculation error; a manifest error may be corrected even if it is difficult to detect. A correction proceeding is admissible where the error is objectively ascertainable from the file and the judgment itself, and where the requested correction does not amount to a substantive review of the merits but merely restores the court’s actual intent (consid. unspecified). The temporal admissibility of rectification is not restricted by ordinary deadlines when the defect is a patent clerical or computational mistake.
