Reopening expired expellee certification after repeal of § 100a(1) BVFG 2001: Does statutory repeal constitute a change in legal situation under § 51(1)(1) VwVfG?
Germania (DE)
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Federal Administrative Court allowed an appeal to the revision court, ruling that the defendant's complaint was admissible and well-founded, thereby permitting the case to proceed on its substantive merits rather than dismissing it at the procedural stage. The dispute centers on whether the repeal of § 100a(1) of the Federal Expellees Act 2001 by the 2015 Amendment to the Prisoner Aid and Federal Expellees Act constitutes a change in the legal situation that entitles an expellee to a re-examination of a previously finalized certification procedure under § 15(1) of the same Act. The court identified the decisive legal issue as the interpretation of § 51(1)(1) of the Administrative Procedures Act, specifically whether the statutory amendment triggers the right to reopen the administrative proceedings for those whose cases were closed during the existence of the repealed provision, a question of fundamental legal significance requiring clarification by the senior panel.

Wiederaufgreifen des Verfahrens im vertriebenenrechtlichen Bescheinigungsverfahren; Zulassung der Revision wegen grundsätzlicher Bedeutung
[GRUENDE]
Die Beschwerde der Beklagten ist zulässig und begründet.
Die Revision ist wegen grundsätzlicher Bedeutung der Rechtssache gemäß § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO zuzulassen. Sie kann dem Senat insbesondere Gelegenheit zur Klärung der Frage geben, ob sich aus der Aufhebung des § 100a Abs. 1 BVFG 2001 durch Art. 2 Nr. 2a des Gesetzes zur Änderung des Häftlingshilfegesetzes und zur Bereinigung des Bundesvertriebenengesetzes vom 7. November 2015 (BGBl. I S. 1922) eine Änderung der Rechtslage im Sinne des § 51 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 VwVfG für (während der Geltungsdauer des § 100a Abs. 1 BVFG 2001) bestands- oder rechtskräftig abgeschlossene Bescheinigungsverfahren nach § 15 Abs. 1 BVFG ergibt oder ob in diesen Verfahren durch den Wegfall des § 100a Abs. 1 BVFG 2001 keine Änderung der Rechtslage und damit kein Anspruch auf Wiederaufgreifen des Verfahrens nach § 51 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 VwVfG besteht.
