Jurisdiction
The jurisdiction of the Supreme Special Court is strictly defined by the Constitution (article 100). Hence:
- It judges pleas against the validity of the results of the legislative elections
- It controls the validity of the results of the referendums.
- It decides the deposition of a member of the Parliament, according to the constitutional provisions.
- It resolves the conflicts between the administration and the courts or between the administrative and the civil courts or between the Chamber of Accounts and the other courts
- It resolves a dispute about the constitutionality of a legal provision or about the real meaning of a legal provision
- It decides whether a rule of international law belongs to the customary international law.
