Rodzaje wyroków Trybunału Konstytucyjnego

Abstract

The study presents the general assumptions of the jurisprudence of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal. The typology of decisions issued by this body is particularly taken into account. It is characterized by multiplicity, which has been regulated and standardized over the years. The universal force of the Constitutional Tribunal’s decisions causes that they have erga omnes effects. They affect all addressees of the standard that was the subject of analysis and control. The decisions of the Constitutional Tribunal and their proper application constitute the basis for the functioning of the entire system of constitutional review of the law. For this reason, they have an impact on the formation of the socio-economic sphere. The decisions of the Constitutional Tribunal have their proper formal structure and substantive scope. They do not only determine the compliance or non-compliance of a specific provision with the Constitution, but also resolve many constitutional issues that have arisen.
