Omnilex summary

The Federal Constitutional Court did not admit the constitutional complaint. It held that the complainant had not properly exhausted the legal remedies required by § 90(2) sentence 1 BVerfGG, particularly with respect to the part of the complaint relying on an alleged violation of the ECHR. The order is final and not appealable.

Omnilex headnote

§ 90 Abs. 2 S. 1 BVerfGG; constitutional complaint and exhaustion of remedies when an alleged fundamental-rights violation is based on the ECHR. A constitutional complaint is inadmissible unless the complainant has fully exhausted the available legal remedies. This exhaustion requirement applies equally where the asserted constitutional breach is supported by a claim of violation of the European Convention on Human Rights; the complainant must raise the ECHR-based argument in the prior instances in a procedurally proper manner (cf. BVerfGE 112, 50; 129, 78).

Nichtannahmebeschluss ohne Begründung: Mangelnde Rechtswegerschöpfung bzgl der Rüge eines Verstoßes gegen die EMRK (juris: MRK)

Die Verfassungsbeschwerde wird nicht zur Entscheidung angenommen; insbesondere hat die Beschwerdeführerin, soweit sie sich zur Begründung einer behaupteten Grundrechtsverletzung auf einen Verstoß gegen die Europäische Menschenrechtskonvention beruft, den Rechtsweg nicht ordnungsgemäß erschöpft (vgl. BVerfGE 112, 50<62>; 129, 78 <93>).

Key legal question

Whether the constitutional complaint was admissible despite failure to exhaust remedies regarding the ECHR-based argument.

Extracted holding

The complaint was not admitted because the complainant had not properly exhausted the legal remedies insofar as she relied on an alleged violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Extracted reasoning

Under the Federal Constitutional Court Act, a constitutional complaint requires exhaustion of the ordinary legal path; this also applies when the alleged fundamental-rights breach is substantiated by reference to the ECHR.
