Abstract

The practice of coalition agreements has exponentially grown in the last decades. Their repeated use has led to increased inquiries over their legal status and conformity with constitutional law. This article provides an overview of the relevant domestic (constitutional) case-law on the legal nature of coalition agreements, the applicable law and their justiciability. It also systematically presents the judicial insights of Israeli, German and Dutch courts on the legal issues arising from coalition agreements, particularly with regard to challenges to transparency requirements, the constitutional functions of State organs and the separation of powers.
