Correction of factual record in non-admission decision regarding judicial officer's career history

The Federal Constitutional Court’s Second Senate Chamber issued a formal correction to the factual report of a non-admission decision dated August 25, 2016, clarifying that the complainant had served as a judge at the Federal Finance Court since 2005 and as its vice-president since 2013; this procedural ruling rectified an error in the record without altering the underlying non-admission of the constitutional complaint, thereby leaving the original procedural outcome in force. The dispute involved a clerical error in the biographical details of a judicial officer within the context of a constitutional complaint review. The decisive legal basis pertained to the court's inherent authority to correct material errors in published decisions to ensure the accuracy of the official record, specifically applied to amend the subject matter of the complainant's professional status.
