Legislator summary

AI generated

The Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG) granted the plaintiff's leave to appeal, thereby overturning the higher administrative court’s decision that had refused to permit a revision. The dispute concerned a civil service claim for the supplementary payment ("Sonderzahlung") for 2008, where the lower court had likely dismissed the claim based on procedural or substantive grounds related to the timing of the assertion. The BVerwG found the appeal well-founded because the plaintiff demonstrated the question of fundamental legal significance under § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO, specifically whether the principle of timely assertion applies to salary claims whose legal basis exists but whose specific amount is determined only by a subsequent executive declaration. The case was remanded for the revision instance, with the dispute value provisionally set at €372.

Revisionszulassung; Aufstockung der Sonderzahlung für 2008

[TENOR]

Die Entscheidung über die Nichtzulassung der Revision in dem Urteil des Oberverwaltungsgerichts Berlin-Brandenburg vom 30. August 2023 wird aufgehoben.

Die Revision wird zugelassen.

Die Entscheidung über die Kosten des Beschwerdeverfahrens folgt der Kostenentscheidung in der Hauptsache.

Der Wert des Streitgegenstands für das Revisionsverfahren wird vorläufig auf 372 € festgesetzt.

[GRUENDE]

Die zulässige Beschwerde der Klägerin ist begründet. Die Revision ist zuzulassen, weil die Klägerin eine grundsätzliche Bedeutung der Rechtssache i. S. v. § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO aufgezeigt hat. Das Verfahren kann dem Senat Gelegenheit zur Klärung der Frage bieten, ob und ggf. unter welchen Voraussetzungen der Grundsatz der zeitnahen Geltendmachung auch auf Besoldungsansprüche Anwendung findet, für die zwar ein gesetzlicher Rahmen besteht, deren konkrete Höhe sich aber erst aus einer weiteren Festsetzung ergibt (hier der Bekanntmachung des für Finanzen zuständigen Mitglieds der Landesregierung nach § 7 Abs. 3 Brandenburgisches Sonderzahlungsgesetz für die Jahre 2007 bis 2009).

Die vorläufige Streitwertfestsetzung für das Revisionsverfahren beruht auf § 47 Abs. 1 Satz 1, § 52 Abs. 3 Satz 1, § 63 Abs. 1 Satz 1 GKG.
