Art. 59 OG; Art. 178 Abs. 2 OG; standing to file a constitutional complaint by public authorities. Public authorities are, as a rule, not legitimized to bring a staatsrechtlicher Rekurs when they invoke only sovereign powers exercised ex officio. Standing exists only where an authority appears in the name and as representative of the relevant public corporation and alleges infringement of that corporation’s constitutional rights (consid. 1). The organizational law did not alter this case law, since it expressly limits the complaint right to citizens and corporations. An authority acting solely in its official capacity cannot rely on its own official competences as a basis for standing.
