Résumé Omnilex

The Federal Administrative Court found the revision suitable for clarifying three unresolved questions: whether former BBesG sections 27 and 28 violate the EU ban on age discrimination, whether a claim for pay above the statutory scale must be raised within the same budget year, and whether the sectoral exception in Article 3(4) of Directive 2000/78/EC also covers national remuneration rules. The dispositive outcome is not stated in the excerpt.

Regeste Omnilex

Art. 1, Art. 2 Abs. 1 und 2 RL 2000/78/EG; Art. 3 Abs. 4 RL 2000/78/EG; §§ 27, 28 BBesG a.F.; the revision is admissible where clarification is needed on the compatibility of former civil-service pay rules with the prohibition of age discrimination, on the temporal assertion requirement for claims exceeding the statutory pay scale, and on the scope of the directive’s sectoral exception. The decision emphasizes the need to resolve these questions in the cassation review (consid. 1).

Art. 2 Abs. 1 und 2 der RL 2000/78/EG verstoßen, ob der Anspruch auf eine über das Gesetz (§§ 27 und 28 BBesG a.F.) hinausgehende Besoldung innerhalb des laufenden Haushaltsjahres geltend zu machen ist und ob sich die Bereichsausnahme des Art. 3 Abs. 4 der RL 2000/78/EG auch auf besoldungsrechtliche Regelungen der Mitgliedstaaten erstreckt.
