Usage notes
edit- This term is used of foreign (non-Finnish) constitutional courts. It cannot refer to the Finnish constitutional court because there is none. Instead, there is the perustuslakivaliokunta (“Constitutional Law Committee”) of the eduskunta (“parliament”) which screens the proposed legislation and decides whether it conforms with the constitution.
