The Federal Administrative Court admitted the defendant's appeal for the sake of fundamental legal significance, leaving the lower instance decision pending further review in the proceedings on the merits. The dispute concerns a public servant's claim for time compensation (Zeitausgleich) for voluntary overtime work performed beyond mandated hours, challenging whether such a claim arises when the employee acted out of a perceived duty rather than being unlawfully compelled by the employer. The decisive legal basis is § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO, which grants leave to appeal if the case clarifies a question of fundamental significance, specifically whether the principles of good faith and trust (Treu und Glauben) in the public employment relationship create a right to time compensation in the absence of unilateral, unlawful service deployment by the employer.

Revisionszulassung; Zeitausgleich, auch wenn sich der Beamte selbst in der Pflicht gesehen hat, über die angeordnete Arbeitszeit hinaus Dienst zu leisten

[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 zur Klärung der sinngemäß aufgeworfenen Frage geeignet, ob sich ein Anspruch auf Zeitausgleich aus dem Grundsatz von Treu und Glauben auch dann ergeben kann, wenn nicht der Dienstherr den Beamten einseitig in rechtswidrigem Umfang zum Dienst herangezogen hat, sondern wenn sich der Beamte selbst in der Pflicht gesehen hat, über die angeordnete Arbeitszeit hinaus Dienst zu leisten.

Die Streitwertfestsetzung für das Beschwerdeverfahren folgt aus § 47 Abs. 1 Satz 1, Abs. 3 und § 52 Abs. 2 GKG. Die vorläufige Festsetzung des Streitwerts für das Revisionsverfahren beruht auf § 63 Abs. 1 i.V.m. § 47 Abs. 1 Satz 1 und § 52 Abs. 2 GKG.
