The Constitutional Court (TC), created by the Dominican Constitution of 2010, is the supreme court which mission is to guarantee the supremacy of the Constitution, defend the constitutional order and protect fundamental rights (art. 184 of the Constitution).[1]
In order to comply with its powers, expressly conferred by the Constitution and the Organic Law of the Constitutional Court and Constitutional Procedures, No. 137-11, the Constitutional Court issues decisions which are final and irrevocable, and which, at the same time, constitute binding precedents for the public authorities and all the organs of the State. The Constitutional Court is autonomous and independent from the other branches of government and is vested with administrative and budgetary autonomy.
The TC has its headquarters in the municipality of Santo Domingo Oeste, province of Santo Domingo, in front of the Plaza de la Bandera, but may meet in any other place in the Dominican Republic.
