Constitutional challenge to general administrative procedure provisions on validity of subordinate regulations

The Austrian Constitutional Court (VfGH) dismissed the constitutional complaint, leaving the challenged provisions of the general administrative procedure act in force and denying relief to the complainant. The dispute concerned a challenge to the legislative delegation and procedural requirements of the general administrative procedure act, specifically regarding the validity of subordinate regulations or specific administrative procedures that the complainant argued violated constitutional standards of legal certainty or democratic legitimacy. The court determined that the impugned legal provisions complied with the Austrian Constitution, finding no violation of fundamental rights or constitutional principles that would necessitate their annulment, thereby upholding the lower administrative and ordinary court decisions that relied on these norms.
