Art. 17a IRSG · Gebot der raschen Erledigung

Sie informiert das BJ auf dessen Ersuchen über den Stand des Verfahrens, die Gründe für eine allfällige Verzögerung und die erwogenen Massnahmen. Bei ungerechtfertigter Verzögerung kann das BJ bei der zuständigen Aufsichtsbehörde intervenieren.
Verweigert oder verzögert die zuständige Behörde ohne Grund den Erlass einer Verfügung, so kommt ihr Verhalten einem ablehnenden, anfechtbaren Entscheid gleich.
