Article VI.3(c) regulates the procedure of referring issues to the Constitutional Court in the event that the lower courts have doubts concerning the constitutionality of a regulation which is decisive for the resolution of a judicial case. This procedure should provide for the constitutional monopoly of the BiH Constitutional Court.<\/p>\n

So far the lower courts have rarely used this possibility and therefore the Constitutional Court has had almost no opportunity to precisely define the admissibility requirements for such procedure in its own judicial practice. A series of requirements can be found in the constitutional provision itself and those requirements have been partially and additionally defined in Article 19, paragraph 4 of the Rules of the Constitutional Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
