Termination of abstract norm control upon applicant's withdrawal absent public interest

The Federal Constitutional Court dismissed the abstract norm review by ordering the termination of the proceedings. The applicant, a public authority, initiated the constitutional complaint to challenge the constitutionality of specific legislative provisions but subsequently withdrew the application via a written submission in August 2011. Relying on the doctrine that the absence of reasons of public interest justifies ending the proceedings upon withdrawal, the court held that the voluntary retraction of the initial request rendered the continuation of the abstract norm review unnecessary, resulting in the final closure of the case without a substantive ruling on the merits of the constitutional challenge.
