Summary/Abstract: The present contribution refers to the article no. 87 of the Constitution of the Czech Republic which governs the possibility to delegate jurisdiction to annul legal enactments other than statutes or individual provisions thereof if they are inconsistent with a statute to the Supreme Administrative Court instead of the Constitutional Court. On the one hand, the change of this competence can complete the assumption of a fully independent administrative justice with the nature and functions of complex control of public administration. On the other hand, it faces problems in the way of setting the mechanism of review of the legality and the constitutionality by of both judicial institutions. The aim is to discuss about the implications that such a change would bring. This paper focuses on conflicts of competence between courts in reviewing of the legality by the Supreme Administrative Court and in reviewing the constitutionality by the Constitutional Court in relation to the same legal regulation.
