Procedure for Resolving Conflict of Competence


Pursuant to Article 64 of the Act of the Constitutional Court:

(1) A proposal for resolving a conflict of competence between the holders of legislative, executive, and judicial power, as well as between the authorities of the Republic and the units of local self-government, may be submitted by any of the bodies involved in the dispute.

(2) A proposal may also be submitted by any person who, due to the acceptance or rejection of competence by certain authorities, is unable to exercise their right. 

(3) The deadline for submitting the proposal referred to in Paragraph 1 of this Article is three months from the entry into force or finality of the act by which the competence was accepted or rejected.

Pursuant to Article 65, paragraph 1 of the Act, the authorities referred to in Article 64 of this Act may submit a proposal for the resolution of a conflict of competence once one of the authorities has accepted or declined competence over the same matter by means of a final or legally binding decision.

In accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article, the entities referred to in Article 64 of this Act, which are unable to exercise their rights due to the acceptance or refusal of competence, may submit a proposal for the resolution of the conflict of competence once both authorities have either accepted or declined jurisdiction by means of a final or legally binding decision.
