Omnilex summary

The Federal Constitutional Court did not admit the constitutional complaint. It held that the complainant failed to deal sufficiently with the challenged decisions and did not substantiate, as required, that her fundamental rights might have been violated. The Court therefore found the complaint inadmissible and dispensed with further reasons under § 93d(1) sentence 3 BVerfGG. The decision is final and unappealable.

Omnilex headnote

§ 23 Abs. 1 S. 2, § 92 BVerfGG; requirements of substantiation for a constitutional complaint. A constitutional complaint is inadmissible if it does not engage in a sufficiently specific manner with the challenged decisions and fails to set out, in a substantiated way, why a violation of fundamental rights may arise. Mere assertion of constitutional infringement is insufficient; the complainant must address the reasoning of the impugned decisions and demonstrate the possible rights violation with regard to the facts and legal assessment. If these requirements are not met, non-admission follows; the Court may refrain from further reasoning pursuant to § 93d Abs. 1 S. 3 BVerfGG.
