Decision 27/2007 on the binding force of a national referendum
17 May 2007
Decision number: Decision 27/2007. (V. 17.)
Subject of the case:
The binding force of a national referendum
The Constitutional Court identified an unconstitutional omission to legislate, as there was no provision within legislation as to how long the result of a decisive national referendum binds Parliament. Neither was there any provision for amending a statute enacted or confirmed as a result of the referendum or a statute confirmed by the referendum. Parliament had also failed to deal with the possibility of initiating a further referendum on the same question.
