Résumé Omnilex

The Federal Administrative Court admitted the revision in a case about the old federal civil-service pay scheme. It held that the appeal presents questions of fundamental importance concerning possible age discrimination under Directive 2000/78/EC, the timeliness of claims for higher pay within the budget year, and the scope of the directive's sectoral exception for national pay rules.

Regeste Omnilex

§ 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO; admission of revision for fundamental importance: A revision is to be admitted where the legal dispute raises unresolved questions of general significance requiring clarification in the interest of uniform development of the law. This is in particular the case where compatibility of §§ 27, 28 BBesG a.F. with the prohibition of age discrimination under Art. 1, Art. 2(1)(2) RL 2000/78/EG, the temporal assertion requirement for claims to remuneration beyond the statutory scale, and the scope of Art. 3(4) RL 2000/78/EG are at issue.
