The Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG) granted leave for a revision appeal in a disciplinary law case, finding the plaintiff's complaint well-founded and allowing the higher court to address issues of fundamental legal significance. The dispute concerns the appropriate disciplinary sanction for a teacher found to be in possession of child pornography in a non-service capacity, specifically how such an off-duty misconduct must be weighed against the teacher's other non-service behavior to determine the degree of culpability. The decision is grounded in the interplay of disciplinary liability standards and appellate review criteria, citing § 41 DiszG BE in conjunction with § 69 BDG and § 132(2) No. 1 VwGO to establish that the revision proceedings are suitable for further clarification of this legal question.
