Extracted by Omnilex
In this administrative-offence proceeding, the defence counsel asked on 30 June 2016 to reschedule a hearing. The Castrop-Rauxel District Court rejected the request. The court stated that requests to reschedule in cases where a driving ban is possible must be examined particularly critically. Counsel must substantiate the reasons for the request and provide credible support, including for an asserted inability to attend any court hearing throughout the six-and-a-half-week summer holiday period.
In administrative-offence proceedings where a driving ban is at issue, requests to reschedule a hearing are subject to particularly critical scrutiny. The defence counsel may be required to state the grounds for the request in specific terms and to substantiate them. In particular, an assertion that counsel cannot attend any court hearing throughout the entire six-and-a-half-week summer holiday period must be presented with sufficient detail and made credible. A general or unsupported assertion of holiday absence does not suffice.

Dokumenttyp: Beschluss
Spruchkörper: Einzelrichter
Terminsverlegungsanträge in Ordnungswidrigkeitensachen, bei denen ein Fahrverbot droht, sind besonders kritisch zu prüfen. Vom Verteidiger kann deswegen verlangt werden, substantiiert zu den Gründen eines Terminsverlegungsantrages vorzutragen, insbesondere substantiiert vorzutragen und glaubhaft zu machen, in den gesamten Sommerferien über sechseinhalb Wochen wegen Urlaubsabwesenheit keine Gerichtstermine wahrnehmen zu können.
Der Terminsverlegungsantrag des Verteidigers vom 30.06.2016 wird zurückgewiesen.

The request was denied; counsel was required to substantiate and make credible the asserted inability to attend court throughout the six-and-a-half-week summer holiday period.
Scheduling requests in administrative-offence cases where a driving ban is possible require particularly critical scrutiny. Counsel must provide specific grounds, including substantiated and credible information about claimed holiday absence.
