Key legal question
Whether the constitutional complaint against the statute was filed too early because the referendum process had not yet been completed.
Extracted holding
The complaint was inadmissible because, for a statute subject to optional referendum, the time limit starts only after the authenticated publication, not merely after publication of the text; here that had not yet occurred.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that an enactment subject to optional referendum is not ripe for challenge until the referendum period has expired and the authenticated declaration of entry into force is published. Although premature filing normally leads to suspension, the imminent entry into force of the BGG and the risk of later complaints under different procedural law justified treating the complaint as inadmissible.
