The Federal Administrative Court (8th Senate) admitted the appeal for revision, granting the plaintiffs' complaint against the lower court's refusal to allow the appeal and referring the matter for further proceedings. The dispute concerns a municipal law issue where plaintiffs challenged the compatibility of a statutory directive requiring the binding instruction (Weisungsgebundenheit) of municipal representatives appointed to the supervisory board of a limited liability company (GmbH) owned by the municipality. The decisive legal basis is the requirement of fundamental significance under § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO, specifically focusing on whether such binding instructions to supervisory board members are compatible with corporate law provisions, particularly § 52 GmbHG.
