Estonian justice chancellor warns against tying bills to confidece vote out of convenience

Justice chancellor: Marriage referendum bill not processed in line with law

Categorization of thousands of proposed amendments to a recently scrapped bill on the definition of marriage was not carried out in accordance with the law, justice chancellor Ülle Madise said Wednesday. The matter could have been heard at the Supreme Court, she added. However, imposition of a limit on MPs floor time when debating the issue was not illegal, the chancellor added. Appearing on ERR politics discussion show Otse uudistemajast Wednesday, Madise said that the Riigikogu s various committees should be able to organize their own work without strict regulation. I would not rush to over-regulate here, though it is good practice for the Riigikogu itself to know how it regulates its activities, Madise said.

Justice chancellor: Supreme Court may have last say on marriage referendum

Chancellor of Justice Ülle Madise says that whether the Supreme Court has the last word on the legal status of a bill which would enact a referendum on the definition of marriage will be clearer after the Riigikogu has voted on it, adding that the court could well hold the key to proceedings. Madise told news portal Delfi (link in Estonian) that the result of a referendum is binding on state bodies, but that MPs can vote in accordance with their consciences. However, the [Supreme] court should make its decision based on the will of the people, she said. The question in the planned referendum, as to whether marriage should be defined in Estonian legislation as between one man and one woman, could have an answer in either the affirmative or the negative and be in accordance with the Constitution, but that this would be complex to carry out in actuality.
