According to the Ministry of Justice, the new Law drafting on the Constitutional Court is a priority outlined in several policy documents on justice reforms. The initiative aims to merge two existing legal acts—Law No. 317/1994 on the Constitutional Court and the Code of Constitutional Jurisdiction No. 502/1995—into a single legislative framework. This will ensure unified legal provisions, eliminate legislative overlaps, and align with the quality requirements for normative acts, as well as the evolving jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court.
