Omnilex summary

The Federal Administrative Court admitted the claimant's revision. It considered the case suitable to clarify whether an assessment system for life-tenured judges that generally excludes regular evaluations and instead uses occasion-based assessments with limited assessment periods complies with Art. 33(2) GG. The decision concerns only the admission of revision, not the merits of the underlying dispute.

Omnilex headnote

§ 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO; revision may be admitted for fundamental importance where the case is suitable to clarify an abstract, legally unsettled question capable of general significance. An assessment system for life-tenured judges that in principle dispenses with regular evaluations and relies solely on occasion-based assessments with case-dependent, limited assessment periods raises the question whether it satisfies the constitutional requirements of Art. 33(2) GG. The existence of such a clarification need justifies admission of the revision (consid. 1 f.).
