Document Summary

Question about principle of opportunity and docket control. The difference between the two is that the principle of opportunity is for the prosecution and docket control is for the court to decide what cases they want to hear. Discussion about the alter reading: talking about the ecj"s relationship with national courts. How it has broadened its scope and mandate. Preliminary ruling has evolved into the ecj providing interpretation on national law rather than national court. For both courts there is the idea of the direct effects and the supremacy of the law. A priori review: reviews a legislation after voted in parliament but not promlugated. A posteriori review: reviews after it is promulgated. Preventative norm control: pretty much the same thing as a priori review but it is an opposition party that could propose a review. This is before the law is even voted on and only applied in hungary in the 1990s.
