Key legal question
Whether the Federal Supreme Court should suspend the case pending the ECtHR proceedings
Extracted holding
No suspension was warranted because the pending ECtHR case had no prejudicial effect on the present review and prompt handling in mutual assistance prevailed.
Extracted reasoning
A possible ECtHR finding would at most concern participation rights in an earlier proceeding, not the substantive legality of the assistance now challenged; the appellant could raise all current complaints directly.
