Suspensive effect of complaint against Stock Exchange Act violation penalty due to impending professional harm

The Administrative Court granted the applicant’s motion under § 30 Para. 2 VwGG, ordering that the administrative complaint against the fine be afforded suspensive effect. The dispute concerned a penal sanction imposed on the complainant for violating § 48a Para. 1 No. 2 lit. a sublit. aa of the Stock Exchange Act, where the applicant sought immediate interim relief to prevent imminent severe professional consequences. Relying on its precedent from February 24, 2012, the court determined that compelling public interests did not preclude suspending the penalty, finding the anticipated professional harm to the applicant to be predominant.
