The Federal Constitutional Court declined to accept the constitutional complaint for decision, thereby leaving the lower court's judgment in force, while explicitly referencing a prior chamber decision from May 23, 2016. The dispute concerned the validity of a "split interpretation" applied by the Federal Court of Justice to § 8 of the former German Insurance Contract Act (VVG a.F.), specifically whether the teleological reduction of § 8(5) sentence 4 VVG a.F. regarding the surrender rights in life insurance contracts exceeded the limits of judicial law-making. The Court held that this interpretive method was constitutionally permissible because § 8(5) VVG a.F. is legally intertwined with § 8(4) VVG a.F. as part of a unified regulatory complex governing time limits for contract termination across all insurance types, thus respecting the boundaries of judicial legal development under the doctrine of *Richterliche Rechtsfortbildung*.

Testo completo

Nichtannahmebeschluss mit Tenorbegründung: Zum Rücktrittsrecht bei Lebensversicherungsverträgen nach altem Recht - gespaltene Auslegung des § 8 VVG aF wahrt Grenzen richterlicher Rechtsfortbildung

[TENOR]

Die Verfassungsbeschwerde wird nicht zur Entscheidung angenommen.

Auf den Beschluss der Kammer vom 23. Mai 2016 in den Verfahren 1 BvR 2230/15 und 1 BvR 2231/15 wird hingewiesen. Soweit die Verfassungsbeschwerde darüber hinaus einwendet, die durch den Bundesgerichtshof vorgenommene gespaltene Auslegung des § 8 VVG a.F. führe zur vollständigen Aufhebung der in § 8 Abs. 5 Satz 4 VVG a.F. für Lebensversicherungsverträge getroffenen Regelung, wahrt auch diese teleologische Reduktion durch den Bundesgerichtshof die Grenzen richterlicher Rechtsfortbildung. Denn die hierfür gegebene Begründung, wonach § 8 Abs. 5 VVG a.F. im Zusammenhang mit § 8 Abs. 4 VVG a.F. und damit als Teil eines einheitlichen und für alle Versicherungsarten geltenden Regelungskomplexes hinsichtlich der Befristung des Rechts des Versicherungsnehmers zur Vertragslösung zu sehen sei, ist verfassungsrechtlich nicht zu beanstanden.

Von einer weiteren Begründung wird nach § 93d Abs. 1 Satz 3 BVerfGG abgesehen.

Diese Entscheidung ist unanfechtbar.
