Suspension of statute of limitations by mediation application and individualization of the claim in the filing

The Federal Constitutional Court refused to accept the constitutional complaint for decision, thereby leaving the lower court's rejection of the complaint standing and denying the complainant relief. The dispute concerned civil procedural law, specifically the interpretation of the statute of limitations and the sufficiency of a mediation application (Güteantrag) to individually identify a claim for the purpose of suspending the limitation period under German civil procedure. The decisive legal issue was whether the filing of such a mediation application constituted an adequate initiation of legal proceedings to stop the running of the limitation period, a question the complainant challenged as violating constitutional rights, though the Constitutional Chamber did not engage with the substantive merits in its unreasoned order.
