Key legal question
Whether the appeal to the Anklagekammer was admissible and timely despite the absence of a legal-remedy notice on the Oberzolldirektion's decision.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible; the appellant could rely on legitimate expectations because no legal-remedy notice was given and the authority should have informed him promptly of the available remedy.
Extracted reasoning
The court treated the 14 June 2002 filing as a request for reconsideration, but held that the later complaint could still be heard. Since the decision of 11 June 2002 lacked any legal-remedy notice and the applicable remedy was not obvious from the statute, the appellant was protected by trust principles.
