How is your application examined?
After the Court has received your application, it will examine it to see if your application is complete and if it is admissible.
The Constitutional Court will reject the constitutional complaint if it is not competent, if the constitutional complaint has not been timely submitted, or if it is incomplete, not understandable or not permissible. (The constitutional complaint is not permissible: if the provided legal remedies are not exhausted, respective if the applicant has omitted to use the provided legal remedy in the previous procedure, if the complaint has been submitted by the person not entitled to submit it, and if the complaint has been submitted by a legal person who cannot be entitled to the constitutional rights.)
The Constitutional Court resolves the constitutional complaint by the decision. The constitutional complaint shall be refused by the decision when the Constitutional
Court ascertains that the reasons for which the act has been disputed do not exist. By its decision to accept a constitutional complaint, the Constitutional Court shall repeal the disputed act by which a constitutional right has been violated.
The Constitutional Court may return the matter to the body that passed the repealed act for renewed proceedings. When passing the new act, the competent judicial or administrative body, body of a unit of local and regional selfgovernment, or legal person with public authority, is obliged to obey the legal opinion of the Constitutional Court expressed in the decision repealing the act which violated the applicant's constitutional right.
How long will it take?
The full examination of your application, including a judgement of the Constitutional Court can take up to one year.
