What is the difference between returning a petition and refusing to accept it for proceedings?

    These are two distinct procedural decisions.

    A petition is returned by the Office of the Constitutional Court on the basis of a notification specifying the grounds for its return.

    The list of grounds for returning a petition is exhaustive and is expressly set out in Article 47 of the Constitutional Law.

    Judges may refuse to accept a petition for proceedings on the basis of a resolution of the Constitutional Court.
