Abstract

The pandemic also changed the ordinary life of the legislative bodies: during the period of the public health emergency, on the one hand, the exact margin of movement of the parliaments during the period of the special legal order became uncertain, and on the other hand, the regular meetings encountered serious obstacles. A majority of the restrictions whave been left behind as the intensity of the pandemic decreased, but at the same time, many trends that developed at that time seem to be partly or entirely permanent. The impact of the Covid-19 epidemic on parliaments has already been examined by several authors, but the contribution of the constitutional review to the adaptation of legislative bodies to post-Covid challenges is a sub-field that has not yet been investigated. Two directions of the relevant constitutional case law can be separated: on the one hand, the decisions are aimed at delimiting the special legal powers of the parliaments, and on the other hand at identifying the framework for the day-to-day operation of the legislative bodies during the pandemic. In our study, we examine the role of the constitution/supreme courts in relation to the latter through recent French, German, Spanish, Croatian and Estonian constitutional/supreme court decisions
