Objection to dismissal of appeal against bar court judgment: application of acte clair in legal professional discipline proceedings

The German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) for Legal Affairs dismissed the plaintiff's objection (Gegenvorstellung) to the court's earlier ruling, thereby upholding the initial decision. The dispute concerned the procedural stage of a disciplinary or professional law matter, specifically challenging the BGH's prior decisions to deny the plaintiff leave to appeal against a judgment issued by the Berlin Bar Court and to reject a subsequent complaint regarding a lack of hearing. The court held that the justifications provided in the underlying orders were sufficient and that the doctrine of *acte clair* applied, finding no grounds to alter the procedural outcome; consequently, the denial of the appeal leave and the dismissal of the hearing complaint remain in force.
