Subject
The legislator has discretionary authority to regulate rights, based on choosing among alternative regulatory means while observing public interest and equality, unless the constitution imposes specific limits. Doctrine and constitutional jurisprudence have held that there is no inherent conflict between the right to litigate and its legislative regulation, provided such regulation is not used to prohibit or nullify the right. Article 48/2 of the Lawyers Association Law assigns the association council the task of resolving disputes about the legitimacy of withdrawal and its consequences.
Summary
Regulating the legitimacy of withdrawal under Article 48/2 falls within the legislator's discretionary field, subject to constitutional safeguards and considerations of public interest and equality. Such regulation is permissible so long as it does not amount to a prohibition or negation of the right to litigate. Referring disputes to the association council aims to organize the matter administratively, not to deprive parties of judicial access.
Practical significance
Practically, the Article confers on the association council the competence to decide disputes over the legitimacy of withdrawal and its effects, while preserving the right to litigate and respecting constitutional limits related to equality and the public interest. This is a general educational summary and not judicial text or legal advice.
