Omnilex headnote

§ 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO; revision admissibility on grounds of fundamental importance: A revision is to be allowed where the case presents unresolved legal questions of general significance whose clarification is suitable for the development or uniform application of the law. This may also concern overtime to be compensated by time off in the form of standby duty, including when performed during service abroad; the existence of further pending revision proceedings may support the need for clarification (consid. 1). For the provisional amount in dispute, the court may rely on § 63 Abs. 1 Satz 1 in conjunction with § 52 Abs. 1-3 GKG and adopt the value fixed by the appellate court (consid. 2).
