To help citizens better understand how to approach the Constitutional Court, this Guide answers several important questions, starting with: What is the Constitutional Court? Is it truly a court in the traditional sense? Many citizens, due to its name, perceive the Constitutional Court as part of the judicial system, often viewing it as an appellate court where decisions from lower courts can be challenged. This misunderstanding is partly reinforced
by the term “constitutional appeal”. Additionally, the Constitutional Court is sometimes seen by the public as the highest court in the country and as the primary defender of individual rights. Therefore, it is crucial that those seeking to file a constitutional appeal are informed about the conditions for filing, the Court’s procedures, and the type of protection the Court can provide in deciding on a constitutional appeal.
