Contribution liability for staged infrastructure completion and provisional measures

The Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG) granted the defendant's complaint against the lower court's refusal, ordering that the appeal on points of law be admitted because the legal question possesses fundamental significance. The dispute concerned the calculation of infrastructure contributions (erschließungsbeiträge) in the context of a staged completion of an infrastructure facility, specifically addressing the legal consequences of implementing provisional measures during the process. The decision relied on § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO as the decisive legal basis for admitting the revision due to the need to clarify the contributory status and cost allocation associated with stepwise construction and interim measures, thereby setting the stage for a substantive hearing on these unclarified principles.
