Verification of voivode’s ordinances by supervision and self-control

Summary/Abstract: Voivodes’ ordinances are manifestations of local law-making in the domain of public duties pertinent to government administration. There is an established praxis that voivodes legislate local law in shape of ordinances which are in force in the given voivodship or part thereof. Ordinances have their place in the constitutional system of sources of law albeit they cannot be equated to regulations issued by the national administrative organs. Since the issuance of ordinances by voivodes is indicative of legislative activity of centralized administration, supervision of this activity is based not only on the criterion of lawfulness but also on the criterion of reliability and economy, and compliance with government policy. Supervision, however, is not exclusive form of verification of voivodes’ ordinances because these authorities may, in the framework of self-control, overrule or change their acts on their own. This happens, nevertheless, under the inspiration of the supervisory authority. Verification of the voivode ordinance, one way or another, entails that an act shall cease to apply and is removed from the legal system, and is replaced with a new legal regulation.
