Po avtorjevem mnenju institut avtentične razlage zakona, ki smo ga prevzeli iz nekdanjega socialističnega sistema, nasprotuje bistvu liberalno-demokratičnega modela oblasti. Avtentična razlaga zakona daje zakonodajalcu pravico naknadno razlagati zakon s pravnim učinkom ex tunc. Ker ima obvezno pravno moč, ni v skladu z načeloma delitve oblasti in varstva človekovih pravic. Zakonodajalec s svojo razlago posega v pristojnost sodstva, da samostojno in avtonomno s pomočjo priznanih metod razlaga pravo v konkretnih primerih. Bistvena bi bila sprememba paradigme, in sicer da preusmerimo pozornosti s subjekta razlage na metodo razlage. Zaskrbljujoče je, da se avtentična razlaga zakona vse pogosteje uporablja v Sloveniji. Čeprav Ustavno sodišče instituta še ni razveljavilo, posamični primeri iz prakse kažejo, da bo to moralo prej ko slej storiti.

Author argues that authentic interpretation of law, a legal act inherited from the socialist times, contravenes the very nature of liberal-democratic model of government. It allows the legislature to subsequently interpret the law with ex tunc legal effects. While the interpretation of law by the legislature is undisputed, binding force thereof undermines the core principle of separation of powers, denies a rule of law on the matters of legal certainty and it may also infringe human rights. A move from the subject of interpretation to the method thereof completely reverses the paradigm and leaves the legislator with new clothes on. In Slovenia, the use of authentic interpretation of law worryingly rose in the last term of the parliament. Surprisingly, the Constitutional Court has not been able yet to conclude that the legal act is unconstitutional in its core and purpose, despite the fact that all individual cases of authentic interpretation of law were annuled if brought before the court.
