Excusability of missed constitutional complaint deadline due to legal error on service requirements under § 93 BVerfGG
Germania (DE)
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Federal Constitutional Court declined to reopen the previous procedural state and refused to admit the constitutional complaint, thereby upholding the initial inadmissibility finding against the complainant. The dispute concerned a missed one-month filing deadline for a constitutional complaint under § 93 of the Federal Constitutional Court Act (BVerfGG); the complainant argued that his failure to meet the deadline was excusable because he mistakenly believed the period only began after formal service of the decision and a legal remedy instruction. The Court held that a mere legal error regarding the calculation of procedural deadlines does not constitute "fault" sufficient to warrant reinstatement under German procedural law, as such misinterpretation does not exempt a party from the strict time limits imposed by statute.

Nichtannahmebeschluss mit Tenorbegründung: Versäumung der Monatsfrist des § 93 BVerfGG - Rechtsirrtum bei Fristberechnung lässt Verschulden der Fristversäumung nicht entfallen
[TENOR]
Der Antrag auf Wiedereinsetzung in den vorigen Stand wird abgelehnt, da der Beschwerdeführer nicht dargelegt hat, dass er ohne Verschulden gehindert war, die Monatsfrist des § 93 Abs. 1 BVerfGG einzuhalten. Der Umstand, dass der Beschwerdeführer rechtsfehlerhaft die Auffassung vertritt, dass für den Beginn der Frist eine förmliche Zustellung der angegriffenen Entscheidung sowie eine Rechtsbehelfsbelehrung erforderlich seien, ist nicht geeignet, eine Wiedereinsetzung zu begründen.
Die Verfassungsbeschwerde wird nicht zur Entscheidung angenommen.
