Constitutional Court: Negative Legislator? Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the question whether the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic can be considered as a mere negative legislator in connection with deciding on proposals for annulment of laws or their individual parts according to Art. 87 par. a) of the Constitution or whether the Constitutional Court departs from this position and how. The diploma thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part, while the author seeks to rely mainly on the actual decision-making practice of the Constitutional Court. In the theoretical part, the thesis deals with the concept of the negative legislator and its origin in the ideas of Hans Kelsen. Kelsen's concept of constitutional justice as a negative legislator is presented. In the following subchapters, the theoretical part is devoted to acquainting the reader with the decision-making of the Constitutional Court on petitions to annul laws or their individual parts. The thesis also describes the binding of judges in decision- making and their binding for other subjects.

The survey is based on an assumption of the inadequate argument brought about in rulings by the Brazilian Supreme Court with regard to the Court being unable to act as a positive legislator. Based on this statement, the outcome is the instrumental access by Constitutional Justice to the so-called non-typical and intermediate rulings. Special attention is dedicated to one of the types of such decisions the additive judgments by examining their conceptual restrictions and key features, chiefly as of their development by the Italian Constitutional Court, as well as some of the limits commonly detected by doctrine that justify their lawful use by the Constitutional Court. To this end the paper employed inductive and deductive methods and was based on bibliographical research of a descriptive and jurisprudential nature / O presente trabalho tem por objetivo demonstrar a superação teórica e prática do legislador negativo enquanto paradigma seguido pela jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal, permitindo-se, com isso, a abertura tecnológica da jurisdição constitucional para as chamadas decisões atípicas e, em especial, para as sentenças aditivas. A pesquisa tem por premissa a inadequação do argumento suscitado em julgados do Supremo Tribunal Federal a respeito da impossibilidade de a Corte atuar como legislador positivo . A partir dessa constatação, a consequência é a abertura instrumental da Justiça Constitucional para as chamadas sentenças atípicas ou intermediárias. Dedica-se especial atenção a uma das espécies dessas decisões as sentenças aditivas , estudando-se sua delimitação conceitual e principais características, sobretudo a partir do seu desenvolvimento pela Corte Constitucional italiana, bem assim alguns dos limites comumente identificados pela doutrina a justificar sua legítima utilização pelo Tribunal Constitucional. Para tanto, o estudo se valeu dos métodos indutivo e dedutivo, tendo contado com pesquisa bibliográfica de caráter descritivo e jurisprudencial
