Constitutional review of administrative decision: admissibility and jurisdictional requirements for extraordinary remedies

The Austrian Federal Constitutional Court (VfGH) dismissed the constitutional complaint as inadmissible, thereby leaving the prior administrative decision in force. The case involved a challenge to an administrative ruling, with the complainant arguing that the lower authority violated constitutional rights. The court’s decisive legal basis was its procedural determination that the complaint did not meet the admissibility requirements for constitutional review, specifically failing to establish a direct violation of a fundamental right or a specific constitutional guarantee by the contested act, resulting in the termination of the proceedings without a substantive examination of the merits.
