Constitutional public economic law

Abstract

Economic freedom is a fundamental constitutional value. It is subject to interpretation by the judgments of the Constitutional Court as a constitutional principle and constitutional right. The purpose of this interpretation is to establish the location of economic freedom in constitutional terms of the social market economy and to determine its characteristic features (identity). Economic freedom also defines the position of the legislator who recognises entrepreneurship issues in statutory regulations, and takes into account the position of the Constitutional Court on the principles of law-making. The European Union law also plays an important role in shaping the characteristics of economic freedom. The study of public economic law should combine the constitutional recognition of economic freedom with its understanding in ordinary legislation and case law by taking into account the European perspective.
