Constitutional complaint challenging statutory provision for infringement of fundamental rights; admissibility and manifest unconstitutionality review under Austrian Constitutional Law

The Austrian Constitutional Court dismissed the complaint as inadmissible or unfounded, thereby upholding the validity of the challenged legislative provision. The case concerned a constitutional complaint against a specific statutory norm, likely within the administrative or fiscal law domain, where the complainant alleged that the legislation infringed upon fundamental rights guaranteed by the Austrian Federal Constitution. The court analyzed the provision under the general principles of constitutional review, assessing whether the legislative measure violated the principle of legality, equality, or specific fundamental rights protected by the Federal Constitutional Act. Relying on the doctrine that constitutional courts review only for manifest unconstitutionality and that complainants must demonstrate a direct and specific impairment of their rights, the Court found no basis to annul or declare the impugned law unlawful, resulting in the rejection of the petition.
