Table of dissenting opinions

Court:
Judge:
Dissenting opinions by judges of the Constitutional Court have been published since the earliest period of its history, that is, from January 1992. Some of them they were designated as merely “opinions”, particularly if an opinion was a concurrence, that is, its author was disagreeing only with the reasoning of the Court, but not with the conclusion it arrived to. In the first years of Court’s activity the publication of dissents was quite messy and poorly organized, and this is the reason why no legal database (even the one of the Court itself) currently offers a full collection of dissents. Therefore, the table below may claim to be the first complete list of dissents for twenty years of Court’s work (1992-2012, excluding the year 1994, in which the Court did not function). 

Dissenting opinions shall follow immediately after the text of the decision itself and may be accessed through the respective hyperlink in the left column. The middle column contains the general subject addressed in the Court's decision and judges' dissents attached thereto. In the right column the dissenting judges are listed. Every annual table is complemented with the overall number of dissents for this particular year.
