| Popis | The article presents a philosophical analysis of works of Lon Fuller, John Locke and Charles Louis Monstesquieu and precises the consequences of their thoughts on the judiciary’s option to interpret vague statutory provisions. It further provides comparative analysis of the application of those concepts in case law of United States and the Czech Republic as a representant of the civil law systems. The article uses the methodology of balancing different constitutional values and principles and criticizes the practice of courts not applying the proportionality test while changing the interpretation of statutory provisions. |
