Constitutional review of legislative discretion and fundamental rights compatibility

The Constitutional Court dismissed the constitutional complaint, thereby upholding the challenged legislative provision and leaving the lower courts' rulings in force. The dispute concerned a challenge to the constitutionality of a specific administrative or regulatory norm, where the complainant alleged a violation of fundamental rights or the principle of equality. The Court held that the impugned law did not infringe upon the complainant's constitutional rights, finding that the legislative discretion exercised by the parliament was not arbitrary and that the statutory framework complied with constitutional requirements. The decisive legal basis involved the review of statutory norms under the Austrian Federal Constitutional Act (B-VG), specifically regarding the compatibility of the legislative measure with the fundamental rights provisions and the general principles of constitutional law.
