Omnilex summary

In this constitutional interim-measures proceeding, the Federal Constitutional Court repeated its earlier order suspending enforcement of a prison sentence. It held that, given the very small remaining term, the disadvantages of execution outweighed the public interest in immediate enforcement. The repetition was limited to six months, or until the constitutional complaint is finally decided. The order is not appealable.

Omnilex headnote

§ 32 Abs. 1 BVerfGG, § 32 Abs. 6 S. 2 BVerfGG; repetition of an interim order suspending execution of a custodial sentence. In deciding on interim relief, the Court balances the consequences of enforcement against the consequences of suspension. Where the remaining custodial sentence is very short, the disadvantages of execution may outweigh the public interest in immediate enforcement, so that a further interim suspension is justified. The measure may be limited in time and tied to the pending constitutional complaint (consid. implied).
