Judicial reference rendered inadmissible upon termination of the underlying proceedings

The Federal Constitutional Court declared a judicial reference (Richtervorlage) inadmissible, resulting in the reference being dismissed and the original decision in the underlying case remaining in force. The dispute involved a constitutional review request that became moot because the preceding proceedings in the origin court had been concluded, rendering the abstract review process unnecessary. The decision relied on the procedural doctrine that a constitutional reference is inadmissible if the underlying legal proceedings are terminated, thereby extinguishing the need for the constitutional court's advisory opinion.
