Summary/Abstract: The book so ingeniously named “Actul administrativ. The ultimate theory” (The Administrative Act. The Ultimate Theory), validates once more how important and full of substance the theoretical (and more importantly practical) issues related to the administrative act are. Such importance is demonstrated both by the manner chosen by the author to present the notions described in the book as well as by the approach adopted to illustrate them. The theme in itself is extremely vast and it has so far been approached by a countless number of specialists from a doctrinarian and practical point of view, through valuable and ingenious comments issued with regard to various interpretable matters related to the administrative acts, the opportunity and the legality of such acts, matters related to prescription or the capacity of some structures to issue administrative acts. In fact, the theme is contemporary as it has been the main topic of research for numerous studies, articles, doctoral or ability theses. What is more, following pertinent and profound analyses, there emerged the conclusion that this is a field where „everything should be reconsidered” - namely the exorbitant legal regime of the administrative act, its validity conditions or even the theory of nullities .The material that constitutes the scope of my review mainly conforms to the classical approach to presenting the administrative act, focuses on theoretical topics and favourably combines theory and doctrine with contemporary practical aspects, a fact that makes it a quality textbook and an useful instrument that may be used by any student or legal practitioner interested in this field of law.
