Attorney disciplinary hearing objection; time-bar under VwGO admissibility requirements

The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) dismissed the plaintiff's motion for hearing as inadmissible, ruling against the plaintiff and leaving the lower court's May 23, 2024 decision in force. The case involved a procedural challenge in a matter before the Senate for Attorney Affairs, where the plaintiff objected to a decision rendered without a hearing. The court held that the motion was time-barred because it was filed on August 1, 2024, which exceeded the two-week statutory deadline for filing such motions under the applicable administrative procedure act, despite the objection letter having been served on the plaintiff's counsel on July 1, 2024. The decisive legal basis for the dismissal was § 112c (1) sentence 1 of the Federal Lawyers' Act in conjunction with § 152a (2) sentence 1 of the Administrative Procedure Act.
