abstract
The author analyses and makes critical remarks upon the rules governing the publication of legal and internal regulations. The study is divided into four parts. The first part is devoted to definitions of fundamental terms such as formal and material publications, validity, coming into force, vacatio legis, etc. In the second part the author outlines the recent developments in the regulation governing the publications by the legislature of its enactments as well as other forms of legislation (delegated legislation) with a special stress laid upon the events of the early 1990s. The third part deals with the current regulation of the publication of legal norms as it is applied throughout the country (mainly constitutional provisions and the Act No. 309/1999 Coll. of Laws, on Collection of Laws and Collection of International Treaties). The author also mentions the gaps in the regulation and makes some suggestions de lege ferenda. The fourth part examines some other laws in the light of the point in question as well as the publication of local legislation, especially the norms adopted by self-governing units (communities and regions). The author puts special emphasis upon some of the decisions made by the Constitutional Court which are promulgated in the Collection of Laws and affect the national system of law (esp. decisions on annulment of enactments made by the legislature or individual provisions thereof, where these are in contravention of a constitutional law or an international convention on human rights).
