As of March 12, 2026,
the system of constitutional petition against judicial decisions has been officially implemented.
Even final Supreme Court rulings can be reviewed by the Constitutional Court if the following grounds exist:
Cases where fundamental rights are violated by a trial that contradicts a Constitutional Court decision;
Cases where fundamental rights are violated by failing to follow due process under the Constitution or law;
Cases where it is evident that fundamental rights were violated in violation of the Constitution or law.
1.
The right to a trial under Article 27, Paragraph 1 of the Constitution
includes the right to a fair and faithful trial.
2.
In fact, the Supreme Court justices who issued dissenting opinions in this case
pointed out that "deliberation and persuasion require time,"
noting that an unprecedentedly short hearing could undermine trust
in the court's fairness and integrity.
