The Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG) allowed the plaintiff’s revision, finding that the case possesses fundamental significance for the uniform development of law. The dispute concerned a student’s challenge to a failing grade (insufficient) imposed after the student personally contacted the examiner to request an explanation of the work's evaluation during the internal administrative control or objection procedure. The decisive legal issue identified by the court is whether such personal contact between the examinee and examiner violates the federal law principle of equality of opportunity in examination procedures to such a degree that grading the work as "insufficient" constitutes a proportionate sanction under the constitutional right to freedom of occupation.

Revisionszulassung; Kontaktaufnahme des Prüflings mit dem Prüfer

[GRUENDE]

Die Beschwerde der Klägerin gegen die Nichtzulassung der Revision ist begründet. Die Rechtssache hat die geltend gemachte grundsätzliche Bedeutung im Sinne des § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO. Sie wirft die klärungsbedürftige Frage auf, ob eine persönliche Kontaktaufnahme des Prüflings mit dem Prüfer im Widerspruchs- oder verwaltungsinternen Kontrollverfahren mit dem Anliegen, die Bewertung einer Arbeit durch den Prüfer erläutert zu erhalten, sich als Verletzung des bundesrechtlichen Gebots der Chancengleichheit im Prüfungsverfahren darstellt, die nach ihrem Gewicht eine Bewertung der Arbeit mit ungenügend als eine vor dem Grundrecht der Berufsfreiheit verhältnismäßige Sanktion erscheinen lässt.

Die Festsetzung des Streitwerts beruht für das Beschwerdeverfahren auf § 47 Abs. 1 und 3, § 52 Abs. 1 GKG, für das Revisionsverfahren auf § 47 Abs. 1, § 52 Abs. 1, § 63 Abs. 1 Satz 1 GKG.
