Application of the case law of Foreign Courts and Dialogue between Constitutional Courts

Abstract

As the number of constitutional courts, i.e. courts vested with the authority to administer constitutional review, increases, the dialogue between courts and/or the application of the jurisprudence of foreign courts by a domestic court acquires more significance. There is a long distance between those advising against a court’s reliance on the case law of foreign tribunals and those advocating extensive cooperation between judiciaries. The present Article aims at unveiling the existing approaches and realities based on diverse sources.
