Revisionszulassung: Temporal prerequisites for late submission of discretionary reasoning grounds (Nachschieben von Gründen)

The Federal Administrative Court granted the defendant's complaint, admitting the appeal to the Federal Administrative Court (Revision) and finding the matter to be of fundamental significance. The dispute centered on the admissibility of an appeal in administrative proceedings, specifically challenging the lower court's refusal to allow the late submission of discretionary reasoning (Ermessenserwägungen) as new grounds for review. The court determined that the revision proceeding offers an opportunity to clarify the temporal prerequisites for such after-the-fact submissions of grounds, thereby satisfying the statutory requirement of fundamental importance under § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO, which rendered the additional asserted ground of divergence under § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 VwGO moot.
