Omnilex summary

The Federal Administrative Court admitted revision against a Baden-Württemberg administrative appellate judgment in a dispute over the interview invitation obligations toward a severely disabled equivalent applicant. The court held that the case raises a question of fundamental importance concerning the interpretation of § 82 sentences 2 and 3 SGB IX and § 22 AGG when an applicant is not invited because of exam grades.

Omnilex headnote

§ 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO; admission of revision for fundamental importance in relation to § 82 sentences 2 and 3 SGB IX and § 22 AGG; a case may warrant revision where clarification is needed as to whether, and under what conditions, a severely disabled equivalent applicant may be excluded from an interview on the basis of examination grades. The decisive point is the need for abstract clarification of the interaction between the employer’s interview obligation and the evidentiary rule of § 22 AGG (consid. 1).
