Summary/Abstract: The reviewed book titled The signifi cance of judgments of the Constitutional Tribunal for the consolidatedtext of an act was written by several authors and edited by Marzena Laskowska. It discussesmany important aspects of the offi cial publication of consolidated texts, after the acts had beenamended, including the signifi cance of publishing them as the law in force, not only for the purposeof facilitating their reception past their modifi cation, but also for legal certainty. The jurisprudenceof the Constitutional Tribunal (in Poland — since 1986) introduced additional problems in this scopethat need solving upon the pronouncement of such texts. A consolidated text shall represent theinfl uence of Constitutional Tribunal’s judgments, of various nature and form, affecting the text of anact presently in force. However, electronic publication makes the matter easier on the one hand, andcomplicates it, on the other. The book discusses all those problems, presenting them as both new theoreticalchallenges (e.g. the phenomenon of provision “revival” after a judgment had been passed),and the problems of constitutional practice.
