Organic Law a la española – Constitutional Prerequisites and Position in the Hierarchy of Spanish Sources of Law
The article analyses the constitutional prerequisites defining organic laws as a Spanish source of law. It identifies the material and formal criteria identifying organic laws and examines how they relate to each other, particularly in the context of the principle of reserved matters and the importance of the procedure for enacting organic laws in situations of conflict with ordinary laws. In view of the fact that the Constitution of the Kingdom of Spain does not expressly indicate the place of the organic law in the hierarchy of sources of law, the article, based on the findings of Spanish constitutional law doctrine and the jurisprudence of the Spanish Constitutional Court, points out arguments in favour of the superior legal force of organic laws in relation to ordinary laws, thus demonstrating the specificity of the Spanish model of organic law.
