Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Oberamt could require the municipality to advance the expected costs of substitute performance in public-law enforcement proceedings.
Decisão extraída
No. Public-law enforcement under the VRG contains no sufficient legal basis for demanding such an advance payment from the requesting municipality.
Fundamentação extraída
The enforcement regime of the VRG allocates the costs of substitute performance to the obliged person; the authority may secure unpaid costs by the statutory lien on real property, but may not shift the enforcement risk to the requesting public body through a cost advance or later set-off.
