Norm review terminated upon voluntary withdrawal of referring court's application

The Federal Constitutional Court ordered the dismissal of the pending constitutional law review proceedings, thereby terminating the case. The dispute arose from a reference by a lower court, which had initiated a norm control procedure to challenge the legality of a specific statutory provision, but subsequently withdrew its application by order dated February 20, 2026. The Court’s decision rests on the procedural doctrine that the withdrawal of the initiating application by the referring court necessitates the termination of the proceedings, citing consistent precedent established by the Second Senate.
