Key legal question
Whether the Direktion could decline to decide the 2001 complaint after the new ordinance entered into force
Extracted holding
The Directorate could reasonably regard itself as no longer competent and transfer the complaint to the Staatsanwaltschaft.
Extracted reasoning
The new ordinance contained no transitional rule; on the question of competence alone the Directorate's view was not arbitrary and did not amount to a formal denial of justice.
