Business law in Greece

Legal Framework

Independence of Justice

The Greek Constitution divides state authority into the three functions: executive, legislative and judicial (Art. 26). It grants the Judiciary independence from the other functions and the power to control or annul acts of the public administration, to examine the constitutionality of acts of Parliament and refuse to apply statutes if they are found to be unconstitutional. The Constitution also grants to all citizens the right to seek judicial protection whenever their rights are infringed (Art. 20).
