Constitutional Court strikes down parts of apostasy law
The Moroccan Constitutional Court withdrew certain articles from the professional regulation law for not aligning with the fundamental principles of the constitution, such as legal security, equality, and the right to defense, after some deputies challenged their constitutionality. The court confirmed that some provisions, such as the organization of official notarizations and professional incompatibility requirements, are constitutional. However, it expressed concerns about other articles that are vague or could cause legal inconsistencies, such as the conditions for official certifications in notarial contracts and the regulation of professional bodies. The court pointed out that the lack of clear mechanisms to activate incompatibility cases threatens their proper enforcement. Additionally, it emphasized that some articles remain constitutional if interpreted in a way that respects the powers of the disciplinary committee and guarantees decision-making independence.
