The Constitu­tional Court decides upon complaints of individuals that their funda­mental rights have been violated. This includes constitu­tional rights, rights under the European Conven­tion on Human Rights and rights under the Agree­ment on the European Economic Area. Any natural person as well as corporate bodies may, as part of an individual constitu­tional complaint, allege that the decision of the highest ordinary court violated their funda­mental rights.

What is more, the Constitu­tional Court is competent to assess legisla­tion by means of judicial review. Thereby, laws and decrees which are regarded as unconstitu­tional can be annulled.
