Withdrawal of constitutional complaint and termination of proceedings under § 19 Abs 3 Z 3 VfGG

The Austrian Constitutional Court (VfGH) dismissed the constitutional complaint and terminated the proceedings without further consideration, as the complainant withdrew their petition filed via facsimile on September 17, 1998, through a written declaration on November 27, 1998. The case involved a challenge to a lower administrative authority's decision, which was rendered moot by the complainant’s voluntary withdrawal of the complaint. The dismissal was ordered pursuant to Section 19(3)(3) of the Constitutional Court Act (VerfGG), which permits the court to close a case by simple resolution in a non-public session when the underlying application is withdrawn.
