Fixing the value of the subject matter for attorney fees in constitutional complaint proceedings under §§ 37(2) sentence 2 and 22(1) RVG

The Federal Constitutional Court determined the value of the subject matter for attorney fee calculation purposes, setting it at €750,000 for the first joined case and €500,000 for the second, pursuant to §§ 37 Abs. 2 Satz 2 and 22 Abs. 1 RVG. This procedural decision resolved the dispute regarding the correct assessment of the "Gegenstandswert" (value of the matter) in two separate constitutional complaint proceedings, establishing the monetary basis used to calculate legal costs rather than adjudicating the substantive merits of the complaints. The court relied on the statutory framework of the German Lawyers' Fees Act (RVG), specifically the provision allowing the constitutional court to fix the value of the subject matter for the purpose of fee determination, thereby closing the procedural record on cost allocation for the legal representatives involved.
