Normsetzung im Notstand
Außerordentliche Gesetzgebungsbefugnisse im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert
In March 1933, the Austrian National Parliament became incapable of acting. The government under Federal Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuß announced it would from now on rule on the basis of the ‘Wartime Economy Enabling Act’, an emergency law passed in 1917. In effect, Austria turned into a dictatorship. Until the proclamation of the authoritarian ‘May Constitution’ on 1 May 1934, the Government substituted regular legislation with almost 500 ‘emergency ordinances’ – touching all aspects of life.
