Project description
The Constitutional Court often adopts as a standard that it will only find the legal norms it adjudicates unconstitutional when they contain “manifestly” disproportionate policy measures. In this project, I propose to investigate, based on international theory and the case law of the Court, what this deferential attitude precisely means and under which conditions the Court (legitimately) relies on it.
