Court changes ruled unconstitutional‘ILLEGAL RULING’: The KMT and the TPP slammed the Constitutional Court judgement, saying it contravened the law and was trying to clear the way for a ‘green dictatorship’By Sam Garcia / Staff writer, with CNAThe Constitutional Court yesterday ruled that amendments to the Constitutional Court Procedure Act (憲法訴訟法) passed by the Legislative Yuan last year are unconstitutional, as they contravene due legislative process and separation of powers. The Constitution stipulates that the Constitutional Court shall have 15 grand justices.

The other three justices said the judgement is invalid, as amendments promulgated in January stipulate that the Court must have 10 grand justices to deliberate. “The Constitutional Court session was therefore held illegally, and the ruling is, of course, illegal,” it added.
