Abstract This article revisits the Jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court on constitutional matters in light of Jacobs v S. It particularly critiques the constitutional jurisdictional principle that the mere application or misapplication of a common law principle does not engage the jurisdiction of the Court as that does not raise a constitutional issue. It argues against the blanket exclusion of such matters from the jurisdictional ambit of the Court.

根据 Jacobs v S 重新审视宪法法院对宪法事务的管辖权

摘要 本文根据 Jacobs 诉 S 案重新审视宪法法院对宪法事务的管辖权。它特别批评宪法管辖权原则，即单纯适用或误用普通法原则不涉及法院的管辖权，因为提出宪法问题。它反对将此类事项全面排除在法院管辖范围之外。
