Correction of clerical error substituting §§ 155a/155b FamFG with §§ 155b/155c FamFG in prior chamber decision

The Federal Constitutional Court’s First Senate, Third Chamber, issued a ruling correcting a clerical error in a prior chamber decision of February 7, 2022, thereby finalizing the procedural record. The dispute involved a procedural defect where the original decision erroneously cited §§ 155a and 155b of the Family Courts Act (FamFG), which were replaced by the correct statutory references to §§ 155b and 155c FamFG. Relying on the doctrine of correcting obvious errors (offensichtliche Unrichtigkeiten) to ensure legal certainty, the court ordered the specific text amendment on page 5, item 3, and noted that the decision is unappealable.
