Content
Judges have been able to issue dissenting opinions on Senate decisions of the Federal Constitutional Court since December 1970. After a very long political and academic discussion about the introduction of this instrument, dating back to 1877, the special vote has now been established for over 50 years. Matthias K. Klatt offers an empirical analysis of the court's practice and determines the functions of the special vote.
