Preliminary injunction against television broadcast denied for lack of feasibility of weighing consequences under § 32(5) BVerfGG

The Federal Constitutional Court dismissed the application for a preliminary injunction, thereby denying the applicant immediate relief and leaving the status quo in force. The dispute concerned a request to prevent the broadcast of a television program, where the applicant sought an interim measure to avert impending harm from the airing. The Court declined to grant the injunction, applying the procedural provision under § 32(5) sentence 2 of the Federal Constitutional Court Act (BVerfGG), which mandates that the reasoning for such decisions be communicated separately, and noted that the decision is final and not subject to appeal.
