Constitutional review of administrative regulatory measure challenging fundamental equality and liberty guarantees

The Austrian Constitutional Court (VfGH) declared the challenged act unconstitutional, thereby rendering the prior administrative decision void and restoring the applicant's status; the dispute arose from an administrative challenge to a regulatory measure affecting personal rights, where the applicant contested the validity of a specific legislative or normative provision; the decisive legal basis centered on the violation of fundamental constitutional guarantees regarding equality before the law and the protection of individual liberties, establishing that the impugned norm exceeded the scope of permissible legal delegation or failed to meet constitutional standards of proportionality.
