The author of the study aims to define whether the editorial changes adopted to the legal act entail legal invalidity thereof towards the concrete addressee. The author notes that any changes adopted to the legal norm and/or individual administrative-legal act (for instance, editorial changes) shall not entail invalidity thereof. The Article provides that the legal act is invalid when no further interest therein exists or the actual composition or the legal context thereof has changed so to it appears unavailable in the initial form prior to amendment (it is invalid). The Article provides that declaring the legal norm void is directed ex nun, which shall not exclude the circumstance that it might still apply in the past procede ex tunc. The author indicates that declaring the legal act void in the administrative law shall not be related to illegal nature/illegality thereof. While declaring the disputable act non-Constitutional/invalid in the Constitutional Law means that the hereof act during validity, was contradicting the Constitution or was non-Constitutional. The author notes that adoption of the change to the legal act, which fails to change the normative context thereof and the effect of impact on the plaintiff, shall not create the basis for termination of the case in the Court. The editorial change might entail termination of the case in the Court in the event solely if the changes adopted to the disputable act annul the dipsutable norm with the normative context with which it has been put to dispute under the Constitutional claim.
