Restitution exclusion under § 1 Abs. 8 Buchst. a VermG for Berlin asset seizures where pre-1949 confiscation is unproven
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Federal Administrative Court admitted the appeal against the refusal to allow revision, ruling in favor of the plaintiffs and overturning the lower court's finding of a restitution exclusion. The dispute centered on the legal validity of asset seizures in Berlin that had been listed in a 1949 nationalization list based on the 1949 Act on the Confiscation of Assets of War Criminals and Nazi Activists. The decisive legal basis was § 132(2) No. 2 of the Administrative Court Procedure Act, as the lower court's interpretation diverged from established Federal Administrative Court precedents; specifically, the appellate court erred by applying the restitution exclusion under § 1(8) letter a of the Restitution Act merely because the absence of a pre-1949 seizure could not be established, rather than adhering to the required standard of proof for such exceptional circumstances.

[GRUENDE]
Die Beschwerde gegen die Nichtzulassung der Revision ist begründet. Das angefochtene Urteil weicht im Sinne des § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 VwGO von den Urteilen des Bundesverwaltungsgerichts vom 30. Mai 1996 - BVerwG 7 C 55.95 - (BVerwGE 101, 201 = Buchholz 428 § 1 VermG Nr. 77) und vom 13. Dezember 2006 - BVerwG 8 C 25.05 - (Buchholz 428 § 1 Abs. 8 VermG Nr. 34) ab und beruht auf dieser Abweichung, soweit es einen Restitutionsausschluss nach § 1 Abs. 8 Buchst. a VermG für in Berlin belegene Vermögenswerte, die Gegenstand der auf der Grundlage des Berliner (Magistrats-)Gesetzes zur Einziehung von Vermögenswerten der Kriegsverbrecher und Naziaktivisten vom 8. Februar 1949 (VOBl für Groß-Berlin 1949 I, 34) am 2. Dezember 1949 veröffentlichten Enteignungsliste 3 (VOBl für Groß-Berlin 1949 I, 429) waren, auch dann annimmt, wenn "nicht festgestellt werden" kann, dass "der Ausnahmefall fehlender Beschlagnahme vor dem 8. Februar 1949 vorliegt". Dies haben die Kläger entsprechend den in § 133 Abs. 3 Satz 3 VwGO enthaltenen Anforderungen sinngemäß dargelegt.
Die vorläufige Streitwertfestsetzung für das Revisionsverfahren beruht auf § 47 Abs. 1, § 52 Abs. 1 und 4, § 63 Abs. 1 Satz 1 GKG.
