Jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court to process criminal complaints under Article 144 B-VG
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Constitutional Court dismissed the complaint for lack of jurisdiction, ruling that neither Article 144 of the Federal Constitutional Law (B-VG) nor any other provision grants the Court authority to process a criminal complaint. The case involved a procedural challenge where the petitioner attempted to submit a criminal report directly to the Constitutional Court, arguing for its review under constitutional law. The Court held that it is not a criminal court and lacks statutory competence to investigate or adjudicate criminal matters, thereby upholding the division of judicial powers that reserves criminal jurisdiction for ordinary courts.
