Résumé Omnilex

The Federal Constitutional Court did not admit the constitutional complaint because the power of attorney granted merely “for constitutional complaint” did not expressly refer to the specific proceedings as required by Section 22(2) sentence 2 BVerfGG. As a consequence, the application for interim relief was moot. The decision is final and not subject to appeal.

Regeste Omnilex

§ 22 Abs. 2 S. 2 BVerfGG; admissibility of constitutional complaints depends on an express authorization referring to the конкретe proceedings. A merely general power of attorney “for constitutional complaint” does not satisfy the statutory form requirement if it does not identify the pending procedure in a specific manner. Failure to comply with this requirement renders the constitutional complaint inadmissible and prevents the Court from entering into the merits; ancillary requests for interim relief fall away with the non-admission decision.

Question juridique clé

Whether the constitutional complaint was admissible despite the power of attorney not expressly referring to the procedure.

Solution extraite

No. A general authorization “for constitutional complaint” is insufficient under Section 22(2) sentence 2 BVerfGG unless it expressly relates to the specific proceedings.

Motifs extraits

The authorization did not expressly identify the present constitutional complaint proceedings, so the formal requirement for representation was not met.

Question juridique clé

Whether the request for interim relief could still be decided.

Solution extraite

No. Once the constitutional complaint was not admitted, the request for an interim injunction was rendered moot.

Motifs extraits

The interim measure depended on the pending constitutional complaint; after non-admission there was no basis for separate adjudication.
