The Social Aspects of the Right to Good Legislation

Abstract

This study touches on the issue of selected elements of the right to good legislation and its significance for social life. This right is not always properly reflected in, or recognised by, the law, whereas its principal function is to ensure the appropriate substantive and formal quality of the law that is being enacted. The discussion being launched is aimed at presenting those aspects of the right to good legislation which affect, in particular, the public. These include the underlying principles of suitable legislation, established through the judicial decisions of the Constitutional Tribunal, and selected issues related to the rationality of the law. The final part of the study provides a summary of the issues discussed.
