The Federal Administrative Court granted the plaintiff's (provisional civil servant's) request for leave to appeal, declaring the case of fundamental legal importance, but did not issue a final substantive judgment on the merits in this ruling. The dispute concerns a civil servant on probation who challenged a dismissal based on the employing authority's negative health prognosis regarding her suitability for service, raising the issue of the standard for such prognostic decisions and the scope of judicial review. The legal basis for the decision is § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO, which permits leave to appeal when the case has fundamental significance for clarifying the requirements for a superior's health suitability prognosis and the extent to which courts may verify these decisions.
