The Administrative Court of the Federal Republic of Germany (BVerwG) ordered the referral of the case to the Court of Justice of the European Union for a preliminary ruling, thereby leaving the substantive outcome pending the EU Court's guidance. The dispute concerns a civil servant’s claim for pay higher than that prescribed by law, challenging whether the dismissal of service-based pension increments under §§ 27 and 28 of the old Federal Civil Servants Act (BBesG) constitutes prohibited age discrimination under Article 1 in conjunction with Article 2(1) and (2) of Directive 2000/78/EC, and whether the claim for such excess pay must be asserted within the running fiscal year. The decisive legal basis includes the interpretation of the sectoral exclusion in Article 3(4) of Directive 2000/78/EC and its potential applicability to national compensation regulations, as well as the temporal validity of pay claims within a budget year.
