The Federal Administrative Court granted the defendant’s leave to appeal, permitting the revision proceedings to proceed while preliminarily fixing the amount in dispute, thereby allowing the case to advance to the next instance to resolve the pending legal questions. The dispute concerns whether the right to financial compensation for unused annual leave resulting from sickness during a block-model retirement transition expires eighteen months after the end of the leave year, even if the civil servant was factually unable to exercise their leave entitlement due to illness. The decisive legal basis involves the interpretation of Directive 2003/88/EC, specifically Article 7(1) and Article 7(2), regarding the transferability of rest leave and the conditions under which unused leave claims are forfeited or converted into payment.

Zum Anspruch auf finanzielle Abgeltung krankheitsbedingt nicht in Anspruch genommenen Erholungsurlaubs

[GRUENDE]

Die Revision des Beklagten ist zuzulassen, weil die Rechtssache grundsätzliche Bedeutung im Sinne von § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO hat. Das Revisionsverfahren erscheint geeignet, zur weiteren Klärung der Frage beizutragen, wann der Anspruch auf finanzielle Abgeltung krankheitsbedingt nicht in Anspruch genommenen Erholungsurlaubs aus Art. 7 Abs. 2 der RL 2003/88/EG im Falle einer Altersteilzeit im Blockmodell entsteht und ob der Anspruch auch dann 18 Monate nach dem Ende des Urlaubsjahres erlischt, wenn der Beamte tatsächlich keine Möglichkeit hatte, den ihm mit Art. 7 Abs. 1 der RL 2003/88/EG verliehenen Anspruch auszuüben (vgl. EuGH, Urteil vom 22. November 2011 - Rs C-214/10, KHS - Slg. 2011, I-11757 Rn. 41).

Die vorläufige Festsetzung des Streitwerts für das Revisionsverfahren beruht auf § 63 Abs. 1 Satz 1 i.V.m. § 52 Abs. 1 GKG.
