Exclusion of administrative court decisions from the scope of constitutional review under Article 144 B-VG

The Constitutional Court dismissed the constitutional complaint for lack of jurisdiction, ruling that neither Article 144 of the Federal Constitutional Law (B-VG) nor any other constitutional provision grants the Court authority to review decisions of the Administrative Court. The dispute concerned a challenge to a ruling issued by the Administrative Court, with the complainant seeking a constitutional review of that specific administrative court decision. The decisive legal basis was the interpretation of Article 144 B-VG, which confines the Constitutional Court’s power of review to the examination of the constitutionality of legislation or acts of the constitutional organs, explicitly excluding the review of individual judicial or quasi-judicial decisions rendered by the Administrative Court.
