How is your application examined?
After the Court has received your initial application, it will examine it to see if your application is complete and admissible.
If the Court decides to reject your application it will send you its decision by post. You cannot appeal this decision.
If your application is accepted, it will be placed on a list until it has its turn to be examined. When the Court examines your application it will request the specific institution which issued the law or regulation or the contested individual act to give its response to your complaints. The Court may also ask you to provide additional observations or information.
The Court usually examines cases in written proceedings, which means that there will be no oral hearing. The Court may decide to hold an oral hearing in exceptional cases. In that case you will be notified about such a hearing.
How long will it take?
The full examination of your application, including a judgement of the Constitutional Court can take a few years.
