Omnilex summary

The Federal Administrative Court upheld the complaint and admitted the revision. It held that the case has fundamental importance because it may clarify whether § 28(4) FeV applies when an EU driving licence was issued in obvious breach of the residence requirement. The court also made a provisional determination of the value in dispute for the revision proceedings under the GKG provisions cited.

Omnilex headnote

§ 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO; admission of revision for fundamental importance; applicability of § 28 Abs. 4 FeV to an EU driving licence issued in manifest breach of the residence requirement. Fundamental importance exists where the complaint identifies an unresolved legal question of general significance that requires further clarification in revision proceedings (consid. 1). The question whether national rules on non-recognition or restriction of foreign EU driving licences remain applicable despite an obvious infringement of the residence requirement is such a question. Provisional value in dispute may be set separately for the revision proceedings under the GKG provisions cited (consid. 2).
