Omnilex summary

The First Senate, Third Chamber of the Federal Constitutional Court dealt with a constitutional complaint and simultaneous motions to recuse Vice President Kirchhof and Judges Masing and Baer. It held that the recusal request was abusive and therefore inadmissible. The constitutional complaint itself was not admitted to decision; the Chamber relied on § 93d(1) sentence 3 BVerfGG and gave no further reasons. The decision is final and not subject to appeal.

Omnilex headnote

§ 19 BVerfGG; abuse of the right to seek recusal renders a disqualification motion inadmissible. A motion for recusal may be rejected without substantive examination where it is manifestly abusive. § 93d Abs. 1 S. 3 BVerfGG permits the Chamber to refrain from further reasoning when a constitutional complaint is not admitted. Such a non-entry decision is final and not open to challenge.
