Croatian Jurisprudence and Repopulation: Parents Educators v. the City of Zagreb
Roditelji odgojitelji v. Grad Zagreb
Abstract
The practical problem of this study is the adverse impact
of the jurisprudence of the Higher Administrative Court
(HAC) and the Constitutional Court of the Republic of
Croatia (CCRC) on the termination of social benefits for
parents educators, i.e., parents rearing several children, by
the City of Zagreb. The study identifies the constitutional
and/or jus cogens provisions in accord with the postulated
values; describes the decisions on parents educators and
appraises the decisions as tending towards, against, or past
the constitutional and/or jus cogens principles; explains the
decisions; forecasts probable future decisions, and proposes
alternative decisions that are more in conformity with
the constitutional and/or jus cogens principles.
