Key legal question
Whether the Administrative Court had jurisdiction over an appeal against refusal of legal aid by the tenancy conciliation authority.
Extracted holding
The Administrative Court lacked jurisdiction; the remedy had to be brought before the Amtsgerichtspräsident.
Extracted reasoning
The conciliation body in tenancy matters is the competent decision-making authority for such procedural rulings, and under the special ordinance and the principle of unity of proceedings, refusal of legal aid must be challenged together with the merits before the Amtsgerichtspräsident. Section 49 GO did not apply because the decisive body was the conciliation board, not the Oberamtsvorsteher.
