上下位法间的效力优先与适用优先——兼论自治法规、经济特区法规和较大市法规的位阶与适用

效力优先是下位法与上位法抵触的情况下,上位法的＂效力优于＂下位法,其根据是梅尔克—凯尔森位阶理论的第一要义：上位法是下位法的效力依据,下位法的创制应当符合上位法预设的创制方式和内容;而适用优先是下位法符合上位法的情况下,下位法的＂适用先于＂上位法,其根据是梅尔克—凯尔森位阶理论的第二要义：下位法是上位法的具体化和个别化。上位法优于下位法属于效力优先,不存在例外。自治条例、单行条例和经济特区法规的位阶低于法律、行政法规,其变通规定优于法律、行政法规不是效力优先的例外,而属于适用优先。较大的市的地方性法规的位阶低于省级地方性法规,其与省级法规适用中的难题也可从效力优先与适用优先的区分中寻求解答。
