Key legal question
Whether the federal nullity complaint could rely on alleged violations of constitutional rights.
Extracted holding
Those grievances were not admissible in a nullity complaint; they had to be raised, if at all, by constitutional complaint.
Extracted reasoning
The nullity complaint under Art. 269 BStP is limited to violations of federal law. Alleged breaches of the presumption of innocence, hearing rights, and arbitrariness are constitutional complaints and therefore outside its scope.
