裁判憲法審查作為基本權客觀價值秩序的實踐──以子女最佳利益為核心的111年憲判字第8號判決

Judicial Constitutional Review as the Practice of the Objective Value Order of Fundamental Rights: The 111-Xian-Pan-8 Decision Focusing on the Children’s Best Interest

111年憲判字第8號判決為憲法訴訟法施行後，憲法法庭就裁判憲法審查案件作出的首件判決。本案主要爭點有二：一、基本權利的客觀價值秩序不再只是純然的學理，基本權利的放射效力未來將實際影響各級法院的具體案例，此一變化雖為裁判憲法審查制度的伴隨效應，但同時應審視本號判決理由的基本權利認定判斷是否足夠充分？二、本號判決理由雖已說明本案聲請何以滿足憲法法庭得為實體判決的受理要件，亦即審查標的所涉爭點為實踐基本權利所必要或具有憲法上的重要性。但不同意見卻認為本案聲請對於受理要件並未有所釋明，因此應在程序上駁回本案聲請，導致本案存在是否該當「憲法訴訟法要件」的爭議！

The 111-Xian-Pan-8 Decision was the first judgment made by the Constitutional Court in adjudicating constitutional review cases after the implementation of the Constitutional Court Procedure Act. There are two main points of contention in this case: 1. The objective value order of basic rights is no longer a mere academic theory. The radiation effect of basic rights will affect the specific cases of courts at all levels in the future. Although this change is a concomitant effect of the judicial review system, at the same time, it is necessary to examine whether the basic rights determination of the reasons for this judgment is sufficient? 2. Although the reasons for this judgment have already explained why the petition in this case satisfies the requirements of the Constitutional Court for a substantive judgment, that is, the subject matter of review is necessary for the practice of fundamental rights or of constitutional importance. However, the different opinions are that the application in this case has not explained the requirements for acceptance, so the application in this case should be rejected in the procedure, resulting in a dispute over whether this case should be the “elements of Constitutional Court Procedure Act”!
