Abstract

The aim of the presented article is to point out, on the basis of a selected casuistry, signals indicating the attitude of the state (judicial power as part of the state power) towards the self-government in Slovakia. The author focuses only on the sphere of the municipal self-government because of its explicit constitutional embedding and also because of a limited extent of this article. It is about examination, whether the imaginary scissors between the legal regulation and putting it into practice open or close and from a broader perspective it is also about examination whether the statist attitude towards the role of the state in ensuring public law activities, in spite of changes in legal regulations after 1989, still remains or is gradually eliminated.
