Separation of powers

Term, not defined in lawEHDS

This is not a legal definition. Montesquieu's doctrine.

The separation between legislative, executive and judicial power. Relevant because ultimately only the courts authoritatively determine what the law means, and not a regulator such as the Dutch DPA or the EDPB.
