The Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG) granted the plaintiff's complaint and permitted an appeal to the federal level, ruling that the case possesses fundamental significance. The dispute concerned a review of the admissibility of an appeal in an environmental law case, specifically challenging whether an omitted or defective Habitats Directive (FFH) pre-assessment constitutes a procedural error. The decisive legal basis for the decision is Section 132(2) No. 1 of the Administrative Court Rules (VwGO), which allows for an appeal on grounds of fundamental importance, with the specific legal question centered on whether such an FFH-assessment failure qualifies as a procedural error under Section 4(1) No. 3 or Section 4(1a) of the Environmental Legal Remedies Act (UmwRG).
