論有關法律問題的決定的含義與識別

有關法律問題的決定是因應1982年《憲法》取消法令表述後出現的術語，一直以來不是清晰的法律概念;官方目錄中的有關法律問題的決定，既包括立法性決定，亦包括執行性決定。立法性決定是行使具有創制性的立法權作出的決定，性質為法律;執行性決定是行使《憲法》和法律規定的不具有創制性的其他各項法定(憲定)權力作出的決定，性質不是法律，並不默認具有法律才有的各項法律效果。從法理上說，執行性決定不應適用主要調整立法權行使的《立法法》，而應適用賦予各項執行性權力的《憲法》或法律相關條款。2023年修改後的《立法法》明確有關法律問題的決定適用《立法法》，因而有關法律問題的決定應當限定為立法性決定，不再包括執行性決定。

The term“decisions on legal issues”emerged after the 1982 Constitution removed references to decrees and has not been a clear legal concept. Officially, such decisions include both legislative and executive decisions. Legislative decisions, made using the creative legislative power, are considered laws. In contrast, executive decisions, which are made under constitutional and legal provisions without law-creating authority, are not laws and do not inherently carry the legal effects associated with laws. From a legal theory perspective, executive decisions should not be governed by the Legislation Law, which primarily regulates the exercise of legislative power. Instead, they should be governed by relevant constitutional or legal provisions granting executive authority. The 2023 amendment to the Legislation Law clarified that decisions on legal issues fall under the Legislation Law, thus limiting such decisions to legislative ones and excluding executive decisions.
