Regulatory authorization of higher access charges: scope of legitimate expectations (Vertrauensschutz) arising from prior limited-period approval of lower rates for competitors
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG) allowed the non-admission complaint, prevailing for the co-defendant, and ordered the case to proceed to full revision to resolve a question of fundamental legal significance. The dispute concerned telecommunications regulatory law, specifically challenging whether a limited-period authorization for low access charges granted to a regulated operator creates a protection of legitimate expectations (Vertrauensschutz) for competitors that prevents the subsequent authorization of higher access charges for the remaining period. The decisive legal basis for this procedural outcome is § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO, which grants access to revision if the case has fundamental significance, while the cost and dispute value determinations rely on §§ 47, 52, and 63 GKG.
