Judicial review is the procedure by which courts in Denmark assess whether laws are compatible with the Constitution of Denmark, and administrative acts are compatible with the law. The Constitution does not expressly authorise the courts to review statutes, but the courts have established this right by precedence.^[1] Constitutionality is usually decided in the Supreme Court, but can be decided at lower levels of the judiciary.^{[citation needed]}
