Case Law of the Constitutional Court of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic as a Source of Inspiration for the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic
2018
Abstract
In 2001, the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic explicitly recognized the legacy of the Czechoslovak Federal Constitutional Court. It denied the formal binding nature of its predecessor's decisions and declared it to have "real authority" instead.
The article examines what forms the references to the decisions of the Federal Constitutional Court take and breaks them into five groups. In the last part, the author poses open questions that emerged from the examination of the work of the Constitutional Court with the previous case law.
