Standards for judicial conviction in constitutional interpretation of deportation protection exceptions under § 60 Abs. 7 AufenthG

The Federal Administrative Court allowed an appeal for leave to appeal in an immigration case, ruling that the issue is of fundamental legal significance and permitting the proceedings to be heard on the merits. The dispute concerned the legal standard for assessing protection against deportation under German law, specifically the requirements for judicial conviction-building when applying the relevant statute in a manner consistent with constitutional law. The decisive legal basis is § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO, which grants leave to appeal where the matter has fundamental significance, as it clarifies the interpretive standards for § 60 Abs. 7 Satz 1 and 3 AufenthG regarding concrete and general dangers that warrant protection from deportation.
