The Federal Administrative Court (2nd Senate) admitted the appeal on the merits due to the fundamental importance of the legal issue, leaving the lower court's judgment on the merits unaffected. The dispute involves a female legal trainee wearing a headscarf who challenged a ban on religious symbols in the legal service, arguing that the directive on equal treatment prohibits such restrictions even after the employment relationship has ended. The central legal question identified is the scope of judicial and administrative protection under Article 9(1) of Directive 2000/78/EC regarding claims for non-application of the principle of equal treatment, specifically whether individuals can assert such claims after the relevant period of alleged discrimination has concluded.

[GRUENDE]

Die Revision wird wegen grundsätzlicher Bedeutung der Rechtssache zugelassen (§ 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO).

Das Revisionsverfahren kann insbesondere zur weiteren Klärung der von der Beschwerde aufgeworfenen Frage beitragen, welche Anforderungen sich aus Art. 9 Abs. 1 RL 2000/78/EG ergeben, wonach die Mitgliedstaaten sicherstellen, dass alle Personen, die sich durch die Nichtanwendung des Gleichbehandlungsgrundsatzes in ihren Rechten für verletzt halten, ihre Ansprüche aus dieser Richtlinie auf dem Gerichts- und/oder Verwaltungsweg sowie, wenn die Mitgliedstaaten es für angezeigt halten, in Schlichtungsverfahren geltend machen können, selbst wenn das Verhältnis, während dessen die Diskriminierung vorgekommen sein soll, bereits beendet ist.

Die Streitwertfestsetzung für das Beschwerdeverfahren folgt aus § 47 Abs. 1 Satz 1, Abs. 3 und § 52 Abs. 2 GKG. Die vorläufige Festsetzung des Streitwerts für das Revisionsverfahren beruht auf § 63 Abs. 1 i.V.m. § 47 Abs. 1 Satz 1 und § 52 Abs. 2 GKG.
