Omnilex summary

The Federal Administrative Court held that the revision is to be admitted because the case raises a question of fundamental importance under Section 132(2) No. 1 VwGO. The review may clarify whether public-law obligations of a landfill operator pass to a third party when the landfill is sold, and if so under what conditions.

Omnilex headnote

§ 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO; admission of revision for fundamental importance. A question is of fundamental importance where the appellate court proceedings can clarify a legal issue that is still unresolved and capable of general application. This is particularly the case when it concerns whether public-law obligations associated with the operation of a landfill transfer to a purchaser upon alienation of the landfill, and under which conditions such transfer occurs. The decisive point is the need for clarification in the interest of the development and uniform application of the law.
