Fixation of the amount in dispute for attorney fees in concrete norm review proceedings under § 37 Abs. 2 Satz 2 RVG

The Federal Constitutional Court’s First Senate ordered the fixation of the amount in dispute (Gegenstandswert) for attorney fees in two cases of concrete norm review (konkrete Normenkontrolle), setting the value at €20,000 for each of the proceedings. This procedural decision addresses the financial valuation required for legal fee calculations in constitutional litigation, specifically applying the provisions of the Federal Lawyers' Fees Act (RVG) § 37 Abs. 2 Satz 2. The dispute concerned the determination of the statutory value limit for the specific matters under constitutional review, allowing for the calculation of legal costs associated with the proceedings rather than deciding the substantive constitutional merits of the challenged laws.
