The Federal Administrative Court granted leave to appeal on the grounds of fundamental legal significance and divergence from prior case law, effectively allowing the plaintiff to proceed to a full review and superseding the lower court's denial of appeal. The case involves a public servant's claim for damages due to a delayed or failed promotion, where the appellate court had applied a different standard for the doctrine of waiver (Verwirkung) compared to a decision by the Higher Administrative Court of Koblenz. The decisive legal basis centers on the requirements for the time element and circumstance element in establishing the waiver of an administrative law damages claim under public service law, specifically addressing how long a party may wait before their claim is deemed forfeited and what surrounding circumstances contribute to that determination.
