This book analyses cases of judicial avoidance: what happens when courts leave some or all of the merits of a case undecided?

It explores examples of justiciability assessments and deferential approaches regarding the decision of another authority and examines legitimacy issues involving judicial avoidance. The reader is presented with answers to two fundamental questions that guide the development of the book:
- Is it legitimate to practise judicial avoidance?
- How could judicial avoidance be practised legitimately?

The conflict of competences, which often emerges in instances of judicial avoidance, is an important book baseline. From this conflict, the book considers and defends the possibility of applying âformal balancingâ to provide a clearer structure of the exercise of justiciability and judicial deference. The âformal balancingâ methodology is based on Alexyâs principles theory, and its connection with judicial avoidance represents a significant contribution and novel point in constitutional adjudication.
