Constitutional review of administrative disposition under VfGH jurisdiction

The Austrian Constitutional Court dismissed the constitutional complaint, thereby upholding the validity of the challenged administrative decision and leaving the lower-instance ruling in force. The dispute concerned an administrative appeal regarding the application of specific procedural or substantive norms in an individual administrative case, where the complainant alleged that the administrative authorities violated fundamental rights or failed to apply the law correctly. The Court’s decisive legal basis was the review of the administrative act for compliance with the Constitution and applicable statutory provisions, concluding that no violation of the complaint’s legal standards occurred to warrant a nullification of the contested decision.
