The Federal Constitutional Court fixed the subject matter value for the attorney’s representation at €1,000,000 in the main proceedings and €100,000 in the preliminary injunction proceedings, while dismissing the applicant’s request for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses in the interim measure procedure. This decision addresses administrative determinations in a constitutional complaint and the associated preliminary injunction procedure, specifically concerning the valuation of legal services and the recovery of litigation costs. The ruling relies on §§ 37(2) sentence 2 and 22(1) of the Federal Lawyers’ Fee Act (RVG), which govern the calculation of subject matter values and the conditions for cost reimbursement in constitutional court proceedings.
