The Federal Administrative Court ordered the admission of an appeal on points of law (Rechtsbeschwerde), overturning the lower court's refusal and allowing the case to proceed to the highest administrative court. The dispute concerns the scope of the staff council's initiative right under German federal personnel representation law, specifically whether a staff council can selectively invoke its initiative for individual components of a measure package when the employer has partially accepted, rejected, or deferred the bundle. The court determined that the appeal meets the threshold for admission due to questions of fundamental legal significance regarding the application of § 70 BPersVG in such partial decision scenarios, pursuant to § 83 Abs. 2 BPersVG in conjunction with § 72 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 and § 92 Abs. 1 Satz 2 ArbGG.
