Valuation of subject matter for attorney fee assessment in constitutional complaint proceedings

The Federal Constitutional Court (Second Senate) fixed the value in controversy for the purpose of attorney fee assessment at €100,000 in a pending constitutional complaint proceeding. This decision serves as a procedural determination of the monetary stake to facilitate the calculation of legal fees, without adjudicating the substantive merits of the underlying constitutional complaint or identifying a prevailing party on the substantive claims. The case involves a determination under the principles of the court's fee regulations, specifically applying the standard valuation for a constitutional complaint in the context of general administrative law or fundamental rights disputes where the specific subject matter did not dictate a different valuation. The decisive legal basis is the regulation concerning the determination of the value in controversy in constitutional proceedings, which standardly prescribes a fixed amount for such filings to ensure uniformity in cost allocation.
