Omnilex summary

The Federal Constitutional Court did not admit a constitutional complaint against the execution of coercive treatment under Berlin mental health law. It held that the complainant had not shown exhaustion of remedies, because an application for judicial decision before the competent Amtsgericht was available under § 327(1) FamFG. As the complaint was not admitted, the request for interim relief was also moot. The decision is final and not appealable.

Omnilex headnote

§ 90 Abs. 2 BVerfGG; constitutional complaint against concrete coercive-treatment measures under § 30 Abs. 2 sentence 2 PsychKG BE is inadmissible absent exhaustion of legal remedies. Before seizing the Federal Constitutional Court, the complainant must first pursue the statutory application for judicial decision under § 327 Abs. 1 FamFG before the competent Amtsgericht. It is sufficient that such a remedy is available and appropriate for review of the challenged measure; a direct constitutional complaint is excluded if the ordinary judicial route has not been shown to have been taken (consid. 2). If the complaint is not admitted, an application for interim relief loses its object.

Titelzeile

Nichtannahmebeschluss: Mangels Rechtswegerschöpfung unzulässige Verfassungsbeschwerde gegen die Durchführung einer Zwangsbehandlung nach § 30 Abs 2 S 2 PsychKG BE

Gründe

1 1. Die Verfassungsbeschwerde zur Entscheidung anzunehmen (§ 93a Abs. 2 BVerfGG) ist nicht angezeigt, weil sie unzulässig ist.

2 Aus dem Vortrag der Beschwerdeführerin und den von ihr vorgelegten Unterlagen ist nicht ersichtlich, dass sie den Rechtsweg beschritten hat (§ 90 Abs. 2 BVerfGG). Gegen die Anordnung konkreter Maßnahmen der Zwangsbehandlung, die auf Grundlage des § 30 Abs. 2 Satz 2 PsychKG Berlin durchgeführt werden, ist der Antrag auf gerichtliche Entscheidung nach § 327 Abs. 1 FamFG bei dem nach § 23a Abs. 1 Satz 1 Nr. 2, Abs. 2 Nr. 1 GVG zuständigen Amtsgericht statthaft.

3 Von einer weiteren Begründung wird gemäß § 93d Abs. 1 Satz 3 BVerfGG abgesehen.

4 2. Da die Verfassungsbeschwerde nicht zur Entscheidung angenommen wird, erledigt sich der Antrag auf Erlass einer einstweiligen Anordnung.

5 Diese Entscheidung ist unanfechtbar.

Key legal questions extracted by Omnilex

Key legal question

Whether the constitutional complaint was admissible despite lack of proof that ordinary remedies had been exhausted.

Extracted holding

The complaint was inadmissible because the complainant did not show that she had pursued the available judicial remedy before the competent local court.

Extracted reasoning

Under Art. 90(2) BVerfGG, a constitutional complaint requires exhaustion of the legal route. For concrete coercive-treatment measures under § 30(2) sentence 2 PsychKG Berlin, an application for judicial decision under § 327(1) FamFG before the competent Amtsgericht was available and had to be used first.

Key legal question

Whether the request for interim relief should be decided separately.

Extracted holding

The request for interim relief became moot once the complaint was not admitted.

Extracted reasoning

Because the constitutional complaint was not accepted for decision, there was no basis for the requested interim order.
