The commentary contains reflections on the proper arrangement of legal matters between statutes and regulations. In the commented judgment, the Constitutional Tribunal decided that the introduction — by the force of a sub-statutory act — of the obligation to place the symbols of the cause of disability on the disability certificate is inconsistent with the Constitution. At the same time, the Tribunal declared that the symbols shall be specified in a statute. The commentary contains the author’s opinion on the relations between a statute and a regulation in the context of regulations restricting constitutional rights and freedoms. In particular, the necessity to comprehensively formulate the key matters in a statute is pointed to, while the executive’s task is to regulate the detailed matters.
This article is devoted to issues related to the determination of the date of a statute. Even though these issues are regulated in the provisions concerning the drafting of legal texts, it is not done in a comprehensive manner. The article indicates, in particular, the functions of the date of a statute (informative, identification and legislative). The main part of the article, however, is devoted to the rules determining the date of a statute. It is essential to identify the legal events that determine the final content of the law and its date. The article discusses the constitutionally based scenarios of legislative proceedings, during which such events occur (adoption of an act by the Parliament, the adoption of the Senate's amendments, the activities of the President related to the questioning of the act). The legislative practice in this field is analysed as well. The conclusions focus on the need to make clear what is meant by the final determination of the content of the act and to maintain consistency in determining its date.
