Inadmissibility of revision against war prisoner care claims and inapplicability of social welfare fee exemption under VwGO § 188
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Federal Administrative Court dismissed the appellant's revision as inadmissible, leaving the lower court's judgment in force. The dispute concerned a challenge to a first-instance decision regarding claims for war prisoner care under the Hague Convention on Land Warfare, where the appellant contested the procedural handling and the associated cost rules. The court ruled that the revision was procedurally barred because the contested decision to refer the case to a single judge was not subject to appeal, and the underlying judicial order had not been granted leave for revision. Regarding costs, the court held that the general exemption from court fees applicable to social welfare matters under § 188 Sentence 2 VwGO did not extend to war prisoner compensation claims, distinguishing them from statutory social welfare benefits, and thus applied standard fee rules under the Court Fees Act.

Unstatthafte Revision gegen erstinstanzliche Entscheidungen
[LEITSATZ]
Die Regelung über die Kostenfreiheit in den Sachgebieten der Fürsorge nach § 188 Satz 2 VwGO gilt nicht für Ansprüche auf Kriegsgefangenenfürsorge (hier nach der Haager Landkriegsordnung).
[GRUENDE]
Die Revision ist unzulässig und deshalb zu verwerfen.
Die Übertragung des Rechtsstreits auf den Einzelrichter durch Beschluss vom 8. September 2016 gehört nicht zu den Entscheidungen, die Gegenstand einer Revision sein können (§ 132 Abs. 1, § 134 Abs. 1 Satz 1 und § 135 VwGO).
Gegen einen Gerichtsbescheid kann Revision nur eingelegt werden, wenn sie zugelassen worden ist (§ 84 Abs. 2 Nr. 3 VwGO). Das ist in dem angefochtenen Gerichtsbescheid vom 9. September 2016 nicht geschehen.
Die Kostenentscheidung folgt aus § 154 Abs. 2 VwGO. Gerichtskosten werden gemäß § 21 Abs. 1 Satz 3 GKG nicht erhoben. Die Regelung des § 188 Satz 2 VwGO ist nicht einschlägig, weil Ansprüche auf Kriegsgefangenenentschädigung (hier nach der Haager Landkriegsordnung vom 18. Oktober 1907, RGBl. II 1910, 107) nicht zu einem Sachgebiet der Fürsorge im Sinne dieser Vorschrift gehören (vgl. BVerwG, Urteil vom 17. Januar 1980 - 5 C 62.78 - Buchholz 412.4 § 2 KgfEG Nr. 38 S. 14 f. zur Entschädigung nach dem Kriegsgefangenenentschädigungsgesetz).
