Value of the subject matter for attorney fee calculation in constitutional complaint proceedings under the Lawyers' Remuneration Act

The Federal Constitutional Court (Second Senate) set the matter value for the purpose of attorney fee determination at €500,000, thereby fixing the financial basis for the legal costs in the underlying constitutional complaint proceeding. This administrative ruling arose from a constitutional complaint where the court had to assess the value of the subject matter in dispute to apply the lawyer remuneration regulations. The determination was based directly on § 37(2) and § 22(1) of the Lawyers' Remuneration Act (RVG), which prescribe the methodology for calculating the matter value to facilitate the subsequent calculation of professional fees for the counsel involved in the constitutional litigation.
