Valuation of subject matter value for attorney fees in constitutional complaints based on subjective and objective significance of proceedings

The Federal Constitutional Court ordered that the subject matter value (Gegenstandswert) for the attorney's fees in the constitutional complaint proceedings be set at EUR 150,000, a decision made by the 3rd Chamber of the 1st Senate. This procedural determination addressed the fee calculation associated with the representation of the applicants in a constitutional complaint case, rather than adjudicating the underlying substantive rights. The court based its calculation on a dual assessment of both the subjective and objective significance of the proceedings, as well as the legal assistance provided by the attorneys, applying the established jurisprudence governing the valuation of professional legal activities in constitutional court matters.
