The separation of powers and balancing the relationship between the branches of government are the most important factors in state law. The constitution of the country and the activities of the body that defends the constitutional provisions - the Constitutional Court - are the main tools for creating guarantees of mutual balance. It is vital to pay attention to how the Constitutional Court maintains its independence and how government bodies implement the standards established by the Court. Georgia, as a former post-Soviet country that is in the process of becoming a democratic state, faces some challenges to enforcing balance between government branches and the supremacy of the Constitution. The paper underlines topical issues related to the reflection of the constitutional standards established by the Constitutional Court of Georgia decisions in the process of implementing legislation by the Parliament, execution by the Government, and administering justice by Common Courts. The paper is focused on demonstrating the importance of well-timed implementation of constitutional standards and the challenges that arise in the practice. All the aforementioned, the paper defines the procedural productiveness of the implementation of constitutional standards established by the Constitutional Court of Georgia and, based on the analysis of practice, evaluates the efficacy of the results which is related to the activities of the government branches in the process of enforcing the supremacy of the Constitution.
Keywords: Constitutional Court of Georgia; Separation of powers; Judicial Practice; Integration into Legislation; Execution of ruling.
