Is anyone aware of articles / case notes upon the Decision 20-rp/2010 of the Ukrainian Constitutional Court?
Question
  • Dec 2012
Dear all,
On 30 September 2010 the Ukrainian Constitutional Court ruled upon the unconstitutionality of the Constitutional amendments made by Yushchenko. Whereas there are several comments available in Ukrainian (which I understand), I do not find any discussions upon the topic in any other language (as they might reflect a different point of view), apart from the statement of the Venice Commission (http://www.venice.coe.int/docs/2010/CDL-AD%282010%29044-e.pdf).
I searched Google Scholar and all I find are translated newspaper articles (i.e. the ones by ME Sharpe).
As I am updating an article from 2009, such articles would be very helpful!
Thank you in advance!

Does an individual has the right to sue on behalf of the municipality he lives in?
Question
  • Sep 2016
In Belgium, a citizen can sue on behalf of the municipality he lives in and the municipal government (mayor and aldermen, those who normally decide over starting a suit or not) cannot prevent the individual of suing on behalf of the municpality.
It resembles the qui tam procedure known in the U.S.A. When the suit is lost, the suing individual must pay, when he wins, the gains from the suit flow to the municipality.
In Belgium it's mostly used in environmental lawsuits (non-pecuniary injunctions) because those suits can only be started by the municipality and not an individual.
Similar procedures existed until 1966 in the Netherlands and still exist in France and Luxembourg, apparently all three modeled after the Belgian example (law of 1836).
In France and Luxembourg however, the indivudual needs the approval of his action by the administrative court (France) or the national government (Luxembourg).
Does such a procedure also exist in other countries?
Primary legal sources:
- Belgium: Loi communale / Gemeentewet, art. 271 (1988 version, still valid in the Brussels region, originally art. 150 of the 1836 law)
- Flanders: Gemeentedecreet, art. 194
- Wallonia: Code de la démocratie locale et de la décentralisation, art. L1242-2
- France: Code général des Collectivités Territoriales, art. L 2132-5 (originally art. 49.3 of the 1837 law)
- Luxembourg: Loi communale, art. 85 (originally art. 107 of the 1843 law)
- Netherlands: Gemeentewet, art. 143.3 in original 1851 version, art. 177.3 in 1966 when abolished
