Time extension for curing formal defects in constitutional complaints is prohibited under §85(2) ZPO iVm §35 VerfGG

The Constitutional Court rejected the applicant’s request for an extension of time to cure a formal defect in their constitutional complaint, upholding the lower tribunal’s procedural ruling that the defect remained uncorrected. The dispute concerned whether a time extension could be granted to allow the complainant to properly connect the challenged administrative decision to their filing, effectively serving as an "appendix" to the complaint rather than a standalone procedural defect. Relying on §35 of the 1953 Constitutional Court Act in conjunction with §85(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure, the Court held that such extensions are not permissible for the purpose of joining the challenged order to the complaint, thereby leaving the procedural deficiency unresolved and the complaint inadmissible or unsuccessful on this ground.
