Interim injunction prohibiting deportation to Greece pending constitutional review of fundamental rights

The Federal Constitutional Court issued an interim order prohibiting the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees from executing the deportation of the applicant to Greece for up to six months, or until the final decision on the constitutional complaint, thereby favoring the applicant in this urgent relief proceeding. The dispute centered on the applicant’s challenge to the constitutionality of a deportation order dated October 15, 2018, issued by the lower administrative authority, which the applicant argued violated fundamental rights. The Court’s decisive legal basis was its authority under the Federal Constitutional Court Act to grant provisional measures (*einstweilige Anordnung*) to preserve the status quo and prevent imminent, irreparable harm during the pendency of the constitutional complaint.
