Description The article analyses the structure and the content of the judgement of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic concerning a review of constitutionality of the Treaty of Lisbon. The Constitutional Court did not assess those parts of the Lisbon Treaty (comprising also dozens of protocols and declarations of a general and special nature) which do not concern the Czech Republic. In this connection, the general principle needs to be stated that where a member state gives a free hand to the future European Court of Justice to modify or even create new law, then the question needs to be asked whether it makes sense to engage in an abstract dispute over something that will obtain its specific shape only in its judicial decisions on thousands of pages of complicated texts of primary law.
