Key legal question
Whether revision should be admitted because the case raises a question of fundamental importance under § 132(2) no. 1 VwGO regarding family supplement level 1 for registered partners before 1 July 2009.
Extracted holding
The complaint was suitable to clarify the legal question in light of the Federal Constitutional Court's decision of 19 June 2012 and the issue was admitted for revision.
Extracted reasoning
The court considered the case apt to contribute to the clarification of whether civil servants in a registered life partnership were already in a comparable situation to married civil servants before 1 July 2009, so that the family supplement level 1 would have to be granted directly on the basis of Directive 2000/78/EC.
