The commented judgment concerned the disclosure of disability symbol on the disability certificate. The complainant, both in the constitutional complaint and during the proceedings, claimed the symbol 02-P (mental illnesses) was stigmatising. Although the Constitutional Tribunal decided on non-constitutionality of the challenged provisions, the commented judgment caused the further stigmatisation of persons with mental illnesses. Organs still placed other symbols on the disability certificate, as they did not lose competences in this scope, and all symbols (specified in the challenged regulation) maintained their force, with the exception of 02-P. In practice, every certificate included the cause of disability. In case of persons like the complainant, the information on the cause of disability had a negative character, as the lack of a symbol was also an information on the state of health. The judgment shall therefore be evaluated negatively.
