The Constitutional Tribunal in its judgment of 21 November 2005 case file P 10/03 held that the approval or denial of approval of the remuneration scales (remuneration tables/fees) for the exploitation of collectively managed works or artistic performances, by the Copyright Commission, is a decision within the meaning of the Code of Administrative Proceedings. This decision is a individual decision, addressed to a particular entity, i.e., in the case of a particular organization for collective management of copyright, which submitted the remuneration scales for approval. The Tribunal ruled that even such a decision is addressed to an individual, the remuneration scales (tables) contain general and abstract norms that may be applied to contracts that are conducted between a collecting society and a party interested in being a licensee of managed works.
