(2) The seat of the Federal Constitutional Court shall be at Karlsruhe. (3) The Federal Constitutional Court shall adopt rules of procedure which shall be decided upon by the plenum. (1) The Federal Constitutional Court shall consist of two panels. (2) Eight judges shall be elected to each panel. (3) Three judges of each panel shall be elected from among the judges of the supreme Federal courts of justice. Only judges who have served at least three years with a supreme Federal court of justice should be elected. (1) The judges must have reached the age of 40, be eligible for election to the Bundestag, and have stated in writing that they are willing to become a member of the Federal Constitutional Court. (2) They must be qualified to exercise the functions of a judge pursuant to the Judges Act. (3) They may not be members of the Bundestag, the Bundesrat, the Federal Government, nor of any of the corresponding organs of a Land. On their appointment they shall cease to be members of such organs. (4) The functions of a judge shall preclude any other professional occupation save that of a lecturer of law at a German institution of higher education. The functions of a Judge of the Federal Constitutional Court shall take precedence over the functions of such lecturer. (1) The term of office of the judges shall be twelve years, not extending beyond retirement age. (2) Immediate or subsequent re-election of judges shall not be permissible. (3) Retirement age shall be the end of the month in which a judge reaches the age of 68. (4) Upon expiration of his term of office a judge shall continue to perform his functions until a successor is appointed. (1) Half of the judges of each panel shall be elected by the Bundestag and the other half by the Bundesrat. Of those to be selected from among the judges of the supreme Federal courts of justice one shall be elected by one of the electoral organs and two by the other, and of the remaining judges three shall be elected by one organ and two by the other. (2) A judge shall be elected at the earliest three months before the expiration of his predecessor´s term of office or, if the Bundestag is dissolved at the time, within one month of the first meeting of the Bundestag. (3) If a judge relinquishes his office prematurely, his successor shall be elected within one month by the same Federal organ as that which elected his predecessor. (1) The judges to be elected by the Bundestag shall be elected indirectly. (2) The Bundestag shall, by proportional representation, elect a twelve-man electoral committee for the Federal Constitutional Court judges. Each parliamentary group may propose candidates for the committee. The number of candidates elected on each list shall be calculated from the total number of votes cast for each list in accordance with the d´Hondt method. The members shall be elected in the sequence in which their names appear on the list. If a member of the electoral committee retires or is unable to perform his functions, he shall be replaced by the next member on the same list. (3) The eldest member of the electoral committee shall immediately with one week´s notice call a meeting of the committee to elect the judges and shall chair the meeting, which shall continue until all of them have been elected. (4) The members of the electoral committee are obliged to maintain secrecy about the personal circumstances of candidates which become known to them as a result of their activities in the committee as well as about discussions hereon in the committee and the voting. (5) To be elected, a judge shall require at least eight votes. The judges to be elected by the Bundesrat shall be elected with two thirds of the votes of the Bundesrat. (1) If a successor is not elected in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 above within two months of the expiration of a judge´s term of office or his early retirement, the eldest member of the electoral committee shall immediately request the Federal Constitutional Court to propose candidates. (2) The plenum of the Federal Constitutional Court shall decide with a simple majority on whom to propose as a candidate. If only one judge needs to be elected, the Federal Constitutional Court shall propose three candidates; if several judges are to be elected simultaneously, the Federal Constitutional Court shall propose twice as many candidates as the number of judges to be elected. Article 16 (2) below shall apply mutatis mutandis. (3) If the judge is to be elected by the Bundesrat, paragraphs 1 and 2 above shall apply, save that the eldest member shall be replaced by the President of the Bundesrat or his deputy. (4) The right of the electoral organ to elect a person not proposed by the Federal Constitutional Court shall remain unaffected. (1) The Federal Ministry of Justice shall draw up a list of all Federal judges meeting the requirements of Article 3 (1) and (2) above. (2) The Federal Ministry of Justice shall keep another list in which it shall enter all the candidates who are proposed for the post of Judge of the Federal Constitutional Court by a parliamentary group of the Bundestag, the Federal Government or a Land government and who meet the requirements of Article 3 (1) and (2) above. (3) The lists shall be continually updated and be forwarded to the Presidents of the Bundestag and Bundesrat at least one week before an election. (1) The Bundestag and the Bundesrat shall alternately elect the President and the Vice-President of the Federal Constitutional Court. The Vice-President shall be elected from the panel of which the President is not a member. (2) At the first election the Bundestag shall elect the President and the Bundesrat the Vice-President. (3) The provisions of Articles 6 and 7 above shall apply mutatis mutandis. The Federal President shall appoint the judges elected. (1) On assuming office the Judges of the Federal Constitutional Court shall take the following oath before the Federal President: "I swear that as an impartial judge I shall at all times faithfully observe the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany and conscientiously perform my judicial duties towards others. So help me God!" If this oath is sworn by a lady judge, she may replace the words "gerechter Richter" ("impartial judge") with the words "gerechte Richterin" ("impartial lady judge"). (2) If a judge belongs to a religious denomination whose members are permitted by law to use a different form of affirmation, he or she may do so. (3) The oath may be taken without the religious affirmation. The Judges of the Federal Constitutional Court may ask to be released from service at any time. The Federal President shall pronounce such release. The Federal Constitutional Court shall decide in the cases determined by the Basic Law, to wit on the forfeiture of basic rights (Article 18 of the Basic Law), on the unconstitutionality of parties (Article 21 (2) of the Basic Law), on complaints against decisions of the Bundestag relating to the validity of an election or to the acquisition or loss of a deputy´s seat in the Bundestag (Article 41 (2) of the Basic Law), on the impeachment of the Federal President by the Bundestag or the Bundesrat (Article 61 of the Basic Law), on the interpretation of the Basic Law in the event of disputes concerning the extent of the rights and duties of a supreme Federal organ or of other parties concerned who have been vested with rights of their own by the Basic Law or by rules of procedure of a supreme Federal organ (Article 93 (1) (1) of the Basic Law), in case of disagreements or doubt on the formal and material compatibility of Federal law or Land law with the Basic Law, or on the compatibility of Land law with other Federal law, at the request of the Federal Government, of a Land government, or of one third of the Bundestag members (Article 93 (1) (2) of the Basic Law), in differences of opinion over whether a law corresponds to the conditions of Article 72 (2) of the Basic law, following a request by the Bundesrat, a Land government or a Land parliament (Article 93 (1) section 2a of the Basic Law), in case of disagreements on the rights and duties of the Federation and the Laender, particularly in the implementation of Federal law by the Laender and in the exercise of Federal supervision (Article 93 (1) (3) and Article 84 (4), second sentence, of the Basic Law), on other disputes involving public law, between the Federation and the Laender, between different Laender or within a Land, unless recourse to another court exists (Article 93 (1) (4) of the Basic Law), on constitutional complaints (Article 93 (1) (4 a) and (4 b) of the Basic Law), on the impeachment of Federal and Land judges (Article 98 (2) and (5) of the Basic Law), on constitutional disputes within a Land if such decision is assigned to the Federal Constitutional Court by Land legislation (Article 99 of the Basic Law), on the compatibility of a Federal or Land law with the Basic Law or the compatibility of a Land statute or other Land law with a Federal law, when such decision is requested by a court (Article 100 (1) of the Basic Law), in case of doubt whether a rule of public international law is an integral part of Federal law and whether such rule directly creates rights and duties for the individual, when such decision is requested by a court (Article 100 (2) of the Basic Law), if the constitutional court of a Land, in interpreting the Basic Law, intends to deviate from a decision of the Federal Constitutional Court or of the constitutional court of another Land, when such decision is requested by that constitutional court (Article 100 (3) of the Basic Law), in case of disagreement on the continuance of law as Federal law (Article 126 of the Basic Law), in such other cases as are assigned to it by Federal legislation (Article 93 (2) of the Basic Law). (1) The First Panel of the Federal Constitutional Court shall be competent for legal review proceedings (Article 13 (6) and (11) above) in which a legal provision is claimed to be largely incompatible with basic rights or with rights under Articles 33, 101, 103 and 104 of the Basic Law, as well as for constitutional complaints with the exception of such complaints pursuant to Article 91 below and those in the domain of electoral law. (2) The Second Panel of the Federal Constitutional Court shall be competent for the cases stated in Article 13 (1) to (5), (6a) to (9), (12) and (14) above, as well as for legal review proceedings and constitutional complaints not assigned to the First Panel. (3) In the cases stated in Article 13 (10) and (13) above the competence of the panels shall be governed by the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 above. (4) The plenum of the Federal Constitutional Court may, with effect from the start of the next business year, lay down a different competence of the panels than stated in paragraphs 1 to 3 above if this becomes imperative because one of the panels is not merely temporarily overburdened. Such arrangement shall also apply to pending proceedings in which oral pleadings or deliberations on the decision have not yet taken place. The order to this effect shall be published in the Federal Law Gazette. (5) If it is unclear which panel is competent for particular proceedings, the matter shall be decided by a committee consisting of the President, the Vice-President and four judges, two of which shall be appointed by each panel for the business year. If the votes are equal, the chairman of the committee shall have a casting vote. (1) The President and the Vice-President of the Federal Constitutional Court shall preside over their respective panels. The longest-serving judges present on each panel shall act as their deputies, or the eldest in case of similar length of service. (2) Each panel shall have a quorum if at least six judges are present. If, in a particularly urgent case, a panel is not quorate, the presiding judge shall order a drawing of lots to designate judges of the other panel, who are drawn as substitutes until the quorum has been reached. The presiding judges of the panels cannot be drawn as substitutes. Further regulation shall be included in the rules of procedure. (3) After consideration of a case has begun, no additional judges may participate. Should the panel become incapable of reaching a decision, the consideration must begin anew after the panel has regained quorate status. (4) For proceedings pursuant to Article 13 (1), (2), (4) and (9) above, a majority of two thirds of the members of a panel shall be required in all instances for a decision against the opposing party. In all other cases the majority of the members of a panel participating in the decision shall be required, unless legislation provides otherwise. If the votes are equal, the Basic Law or other Federal law cannot be declared to have been infringed. (1) The panels shall appoint several chambers for the duration of one business year. Each chamber shall consist of three judges. The composition of a chamber should not remain unchanged for more than three years. (2) Prior to the beginning of a business year, the panel shall decide, for the duration of that year, upon the division of proceedings pursuant to Article 80 and the constitutional complaints pursuant to Articles 90 and 91 below among the rapporteurs, the number and composition of the chambers and the deputization of their members. (1) If, in a point of law, a panel intends to deviate from the legal opinion contained in a decision by the other panel, the plenum of the Federal Constitutional Court shall decide on the matter. (2) It shall have a quorum if two thirds of the judges of each panel are present. Unless this Law contains provisions to the contrary, the provisions of Titles 14 to 16 of the Law on the Constitution of Courts shall apply mutatis mutandis with regard to admission of the public, police powers in court, the language of the court, deliberations and voting. (1) In derogation of Article 169 sentence 2 of the Court Constitution Act, TV and radio broadcasts, filming and sound recording shall be allowed in oral proceedings, until the Court has ascertained that the parties are present, and during the public promulgation of decisions for the purposes of public presentation, or the publication of decisions' contents. (2) In order to protect the valid interests of the parties involved, or those of third parties, and to ensure that the proceedings are conducted in an orderly fashion, the Federal Constitutional Court may partly or wholly exclude such transmission under paragraph 1 above, or may make it subject to conditions. (1) A Judge of the Federal Constitutional Court shall be debarred from the exercise of his functions if he is a party to the case or is or was married to a party, is related by blood or marriage in the direct line, related by blood up to the third degree or by marriage up to the second degree in the collateral line, or has already been involved in the same case by reason of his office or profession. (2) If he has an interest in the outcome of the proceedings on account of his personal status, profession, descent, membership of a political party or a similar general consideration, he shall not be regarded as being a party to the case. (3) Involvement for the purposes of paragraph 1 (2) above shall not include participation in legislative procedures, expression of an expert opinion on a question of law which may be of relevance to the case. (1) If a Judge of the Federal Constitutional Court is challenged propter affectum, the Court shall decide in his absence; if the votes are equal, the presiding judge shall have a casting vote. (2) The reasons must be stated for the challenge. The judge challenged must make a statement. A challenge shall be irrelevant if made after the commencement of the oral pleadings. (3) If a judge who has not been challenged himself declares his partiality, paragraph 1 above shall apply mutatis mutandis. (4) If the Federal Constitutional Court has declared the challenge or statement of self-rejection by a judge to be reasonable, lots shall be drawn to select a judge from the other panel as substitute. The presiding judges of the panels cannot be drawn as substitutes. Further regulation shall be included in the rules of procedure. The parties shall have access to the files. If proceedings are applied for by or against a group of persons, the Federal Constitutional Court may direct that such group exercise its rights, especially its right to attend hearings, by appointing one or more agents. (1) The parties may be represented at any stage of the proceedings by an attorney registered with a German court or a lecturer of law at a German institution of higher education; in the oral pleadings before the Federal Constitutional Court they must be represented in this manner. Legislative bodies and parts thereof which are vested with rights of their own by virtue of their statutes or rules of procedure may, in addition, be represented by their members. The Federation, the Laender and their constitutional organs may also be represented by their officials provided that they are qualified to exercise the functions of a judge or are qualified for higher administrative service by having passed the prescribed state examinations. The Federal Constitutional Court may also permit another person to act as counsel for a party. (2) The powers of attorney shall be granted in writing. They must relate expressly to the proceedings in hand. (3) When an agent has been appointed, all notifications by the Court shall be addressed to him. (1) Applications for the institution of proceedings must be submitted in writing to the Federal Constitutional Court. The reasons must be stated; the requisite evidence must be specified. (2) The presiding judge, or, in the case of a decision in accordance with Article 93 (c) below, the rapporteur, shall send the application forthwith to the opposing party, the other parties involved, and the third parties invited to give an opinion under Article 27 below with the request that they comment on the matter within a specified period. (3) The presiding judge or the rapporteur may direct any party to submit within a specified period sufficient copies of his written pleadings and the decisions challenged for the Court and the other parties. Inadmissible or clearly unfounded applications may be rejected by a unanimous order of the Court. If it has previously been pointed out to the applicant that doubts exist as to the admissibility or foundation of his application, no further reasons need be stated. (1) In the absence of provisions to the contrary, the Federal Constitutional Court shall decide on the basis of oral pleadings, unless all parties expressly waive them. (2) Decisions pursuant to oral pleadings shall be issued as judgments, and decisions without oral pleadings as orders. (3) Partial and interim decisions shall be permissible. (4) The decisions shall be issued "in the name of the people". Written minutes shall be made of oral pleadings, and they shall also be recorded on tape. Further regulation shall be included in the rules of procedure. (1) The Federal Constitutional Court shall take evidence as needed to establish the truth. It may charge a member of the court with this outside the oral pleadings or ask another court to do so with regard to specific facts and persons. (2) If so decided by a majority of two thirds of the votes of the Court, the production of individual documents may be dispensed with where their use would be detrimental to national security. All courts and administrative authorities shall afford the Federal Constitutional Court legal and administrative assistance. Should the Federal Constitutional Court ask for files of initial proceedings, these shall be directly submitted to it. The Federal Constitutional Court may invite expert third parties to give an opinion. (1) With regard to the examination of witnesses and experts the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure shall apply in cases pursuant to Article 13 (1), (2), (4) and (9) above, and the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure in the remaining cases. (2) If a witness or expert may be examined only with the consent of a superior authority, such consent may be refused only if necessary for the welfare of the Federation or a Land. The witness or expert may not plead that he is obliged to maintain secrecy if the Federal Constitutional Court declares with a majority of two thirds of its votes that such refusal of consent is unfounded. The parties shall be notified of all hearings and may attend the taking of evidence. They may ask the witnesses and experts questions. If a question is objected to, the Court shall decide. (1) The Federal Constitutional Court shall decide in secret deliberations on the basis of its independent conviction resulting from the pleadings and the taking of evidence. The decision shall be drawn up in writing together with the reasons and signed by the participating judges. If oral pleadings have been held, it shall be proclaimed publicly, stating the main reasons for the decision. The date of proclamation may be given during the oral pleadings or at the end of the deliberations; in this case it shall be immediately made known to the parties involved. No more than three months should lie between the end of oral pleadings and the proclamation of the decision. The date may be deferred by an order of the Federal Constitutional Court. (2) A judge holding a dissenting opinion on the decision or the reasons during deliberations may have it recorded in a separate vote; the separate vote shall be appended to the decision. In their decisions the panels may state the number of votes for and against. The details shall be laid down in the rules of procedure. (3) All decisions shall be made known to the parties. (1) The decisions of the Federal Constitutional Court shall be binding upon Federal and Land constitutional organs as well as on all courts and authorities. (2) In cases pursuant to Article 13 (6), (11), (12) and (14) above decisions of the Federal Constitutional Court shall have the force of law. This shall also apply in cases pursuant to Article 13 (8a) above if the Federal Constitutional Court declares a law to be compatible or incompatible with the Basic Law or to be null and void. If a law is declared to be compatible or incompatible with the Basic Law or other Federal law or to be null and void, the decision shall be published in the Federal Law Gazette by the Federal Ministry of Justice. The above shall apply mutatis mutandis to decisions in cases pursuant to Article 13 (12) and (14) above. (1) In a dispute the Federal Constitutional Court may deal with a matter provisionally by means of a temporary injunction if this is urgently needed to avert serious detriment, ward off imminent force or for any other important reason for the common weal. (2) The temporary injunction may be issued without oral pleadings. In particularly urgent instances, the Federal Constitutional Court need not give the parties to the principal proceedings, the parties entitled to join them or the parties entitled to make a statement an opportunity to make a statement. (3) If the temporary injunction is issued or refused by an order, a protest may be lodged. This shall not apply to the complainant in proceedings on a constitutional complaint. The Federal Constitutional Court shall decide on the protest after oral pleadings. These must be held within two weeks of receiving the reasons for the protest. (4) A protest against a temporary injunction shall not have any suspensive effect. The Federal Constitutional Court may stay the execution of the temporary injunction. (5) The Federal Constitutional Court may announce the decision on the temporary injunction or the protest without giving reasons. In this case the reasons shall be transmitted separately to the parties involved. (6) The temporary injunction shall cease to have effect after six months. It may be renewed with a majority of two thirds of the votes. (7) If a panel does not have a quorum, a temporary injunction may be issued in particularly urgent cases if at least three judges are present and the decision is taken unanimously. It shall cease to have effect after one month. If it is confirmed by the panel, it shall cease to have effect six months after the date of issue. (1) The Federal Constitutional Court may stay proceedings until a case pending before another court is terminated if the findings or the decision of such court might be of relevance to its own decision. (2) The Federal Constitutional Court may base its decision on the factual findings of a final judgment passed in a case in which the truth was to be established ex officio. (1) The proceedings of the Federal Constitutional Court shall be free of charge. (2) The Federal Constitutional Court may charge a fee of up to 5,000 Deutsche Mark if the lodging of the constitutional complaint or the complaint pursuant to Article 41 (2) of the Basic Law constitutes an abuse or if an application for the issuing of a temporary injunction (Art. 32 above) is made in an abusive manner. (3) For the collection of the fee, Article 59 (1) of the Federal Budget Regulations shall apply mutatis mutandis. (1) If an application for the forfeiture of basic rights (Article 13 (1) above) or the impeachment of the Federal President (Article 13 (4) above) or of a judge (Article 13 (9) above) proves to be unfounded, the opposing party or the accused shall be reimbursed the necessary expenses, including the defence costs. (2) If a constitutional complaint proves to be founded, the complainant shall be reimbursed the necessary expenses, either in full or in part. (3) In other cases the Federal Constitutional Court may direct that the expenses be reimbursed fully or in part. In its decision the Federal Constitutional Court may state by whom it is to be executed; in individual instances it may also specify the method of execution. Should applications for information about or access to Federal Constitutional Court files outside the case involve personal data, the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act shall be applicable insofar as the provisions set out below do not rule otherwise. (1) Information about or access to Federal Constitutional Court files may be granted to public authorities, where this is necessary for the administration of justice, or when the conditions set out in Article 14 (2) (4 and 6 - 9) of the Federal Data Protection Act are met, private persons and other non-public bodies, where they can prove a justified interest; such information and access must be denied in cases where the party involved has a justified interest in the information not being released. Article 16 (3) of the Federal Data Protection Act shall not apply; the release of the information and the access to the files must be noted in the files. Information about or access to the files may also be granted when the party involved has given his consent. (2) Access to files may only be granted if reasons are given to prove that the providing of information would be insufficient to enable the public body seeking access (Article 35b (1) (1) ) to carry out its tasks, or that the justified interests of the private person or other non-public body seeking access (Article 35b (1) (2) ) would not be met, or that the providing of that information would require unreasonable time an effort. (3) Information from files requested by the Court which are not part of the casefiles may only be provided if the applicant can prove that the body which sent the files has given its consent; the same applies to access to such files. (4) Federal Constitutional Court files shall not be sent directly to applicants, but rather to public bodies when they are granted access under (2) above, or when a private person is to be granted access to the files there for exceptional reasons. The Federal Constitutional Court may use the personal data filed during a case in a subsequent case. The application for a decision pursuant to the second sentence of Article 18 of the Basic Law may be made by the Bundestag, the Federal Government or a Land government. The Federal Constitutional Court shall give the opposing party an opportunity to make a statement within a specified period and shall then decide whether the application is to be rejected as being inadmissible or insufficiently founded or whether proceedings are to be held. (1) After receipt of the application the Federal Constitutional Court may order a seizure or search to be made in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure. (2) The Federal Constitutional Court may order a preliminary examination in preparation for the oral pleadings. A judge of the panel not competent for the decision on the main issue shall be charged with carrying out the preliminary examination. (1) If the application proves to be founded, the Federal Constitutional Court shall establish which basic rights the opposing party has forfeited. It may limit the forfeiture to a specific period, being at least one year. It may also impose restrictions of a specific type and duration on the opposing party provided that they do not affect basic rights other than those which have been forfeited. To this extent the administrative authorities shall not require any further legal basis for action against the opposing party. (2) The Federal Constitutional Court may, for the duration of the forfeiture of basic rights, deny the opposing party the right to vote and to be elected as well as the capacity to hold public office and, in the case of corporate bodies, direct that they be dissolved. If the forfeiture is of unlimited duration or has been pronounced for a period in excess of one year, the Federal Constitutional Court may, upon application by the former applicant or opposing party, cancel the forfeiture wholly or in part or curtail the duration of forfeiture, if two years have elapsed since pronouncement of the forfeiture. This application may be renewed if one year has elapsed since the last decision of the Federal Constitutional Court. If the Federal Constitutional Court has decided on an application on the basis of facts, the application against the same opposing party may be renewed only if it is based on new facts. (deleted) Article 43 (1) The application for a decision on whether a party is unconstitutional (Article 21 (2) of the Basic Law) may be made by the Bundestag, the Bundesrat or the Federal Government. (2) A Land government may make an application against a party only if the party´s organisation is confined to the territory of that Land. The representation of the party shall be determined by the relevant legal provisions, or, in their absence, by the party´s constitution. If the persons entitled to represent the party are not determinable or not present, or if they have left the party following the receipt of the application by the Federal Constitutional Court, those persons who actually managed the party during the activity which led to the application shall be regarded as entitled to represent the party. The Federal Constitutional Court shall give the persons entitled to represent the party (see Art. 44 above) the opportunity to make a statement within a specified period and shall then decide whether the application is to be rejected as inadmissible or insufficiently founded, or whether proceedings are to be held. (1) If the application proves to be founded, the Federal Constitutional Court shall declare that the political party is unconstitutional. (2) The declaration may be confined to a legally or organisationally independent section of a party. (3) The declaration shall be accompanied by the dissolution of the party or the independent section of the party and the prohibition of the establishment of a substitute organization. Moreover, in this instance the Federal Constitutional Court may direct that the property of the party or the independent section of the party be confiscated for use by the Federation or the Land for public benefit. The provisions of Articles 38 and 41 above shall apply mutatis mutandis. (1) A complaint against a decision of the Bundestag on the validity of an election or the loss of a seat in the Bundestag may be lodged with the Federal Constitutional Court within two months of the decision of the Bundestag by the deputy whose seat is disputed, a person entitled to vote whose objection has been rejected, provided that he is supported by at least one hundred persons entitled to vote, a parliamentary group or a minority in the Bundestag comprising at least one tenth of the statutory number of deputies. Reasons for the complaint must be given within this time limit. (2) The persons entitled to vote, who delegate representation to one of their number as spokesman, must personally sign this declaration; they must add to their signature their surname, forename, date of birth and address (main residence). (3) The Federal Constitutional Court may dispense with oral proceedings if, in its opinion, these will not expedite the complaints procedure. (1) The Federal President may be impeached for wilful violation of the Basic Law or any other Federal law by submitting a bill of impeachment to the Federal Constitutional Court. (2) Pursuant to a decision by either of the legislative bodies (Article 61 (1) of the Basic Law) the president of the body shall draw up the bill and forward it to the Federal Constitutional Court within one month. (3) The bill must specify the act or omission for which impeachment is being effected, the evidence, and the provision of the constitution or law which is claimed to have been violated. It must state that the decision to impeach was taken by a majority of two thirds of the statutory number of members of the Bundestag or of two thirds of the votes of the Bundesrat. Impeachment may be effected only within three months of the circumstances on which it is based becoming known to the body entitled to impeach. The institution and conduct of impeachment proceedings shall not be affected by the resignation of the Federal President, his retirement from office or the dissolution of the Bundestag, nor by the end of the electoral period. (1) Impeachment may be revoked up to the pronouncing of the judgment due to a decision by the body making the application. This decision requires the approval of the majority of the statutory number of members of the Bundestag or the majority of the votes in the Bundesrat. (2) Impeachment shall be revoked by the president of the body making the application by sending a copy of the decision to the Federal Constitutional Court. (3) The revocation of impeachment shall not take effect if the Federal President contradicts it within one month. The Federal Constitutional Court may, following the effecting of impeachment, issue a temporary injunction ordering that the Federal President is no longer able to exercise his function. (1) The Federal Constitutional Court may order a preliminary examination to prepare the oral proceedings; it must so order if either the representative of the body effecting the impeachment or the Federal President makes an application to this end. (2) The preliminary examination shall be assigned to a judge from the panel not responsible for passing judgment in the main proceedings. (1) The Federal Constitutional Court shall decide on the basis of oral proceedings. (2) The Federal President shall be summoned to the oral proceedings. In the summons he shall be informed that the proceedings will continue in his absence should he not attend without excuse or leave without sufficient reason. (3) During the proceedings, the representative of the body making the application shall first of all read out the impeachment. (4) After this the Federal President shall be given the opportunity to make a statement on the impeachment. (5) Then the evidence shall be presented. (6) At the end of proceedings the representative of the body effecting the impeachment shall present his plea and the Federal President shall present his defence. He shall have the final word. (1) In its judgment the Federal Constitutional Court shall state whether the Federal President is guilty of wilful violation of the Basic Law or of a specific Federal law. (2) In the event of conviction the Federal Constitutional Court may declare the Federal President to have forfeited his office. Such forfeiture shall take effect when the judgment is proclaimed. A copy of the judgment, together with the reasons, shall be transmitted to the Bundestag, the Bundesrat and the Federal Government. (1) If the Bundestag impeaches a Federal judge in accordance with Article 98 (2) of the Basic Law, the provisions of Articles 49 to 55 above with the exception of the second sentence of Article 49 (3), Article 50 and the second sentence of Article 52 (1) shall apply mutatis mutandis. (2) If the Federal judge is accused of an infringement in his official capacity, the Bundestag shall not decide until the non-appealable completion of the judicial proceedings or, if formal disciplinary proceedings have previously been instituted for the same infringement, until such proceedings have been commenced. Impeachment shall no longer be permissible if six months have expired since the non-appealable completion of the judicial proceedings in which the Federal judge is claimed to have committed the infringement. (3) Apart from the cases stated in paragraph 2 above, impeachment pursuant to paragraph 1 above shall no longer be permissible if two years have elapsed since the infringement. (4) The impeachment shall be substantiated before the Federal Constitutional Court by a person commissioned by the Bundestag. (1) The Federal Constitutional Court shall order any of the measures envisaged in Article 98 (2) of the Basic Law or acquittal. (2) If the Federal Constitutional Court orders dismissal, the forfeiture of office shall take effect when the judgment is proclaimed. (3) If it is ordered that the Federal judge be given a different function or be retired, this shall be the task of the authority that is competent for his dismissal. (4) Copies of the judgment and the reasons shall be transmitted to the Federal President, the Bundestag and the Federal Government. As long as proceedings are pending before the Federal Constitutional Court, the disciplinary proceedings on the same act or omission pending before a disciplinary court shall be suspended. If the Federal Constitutional Court orders dismissal or transfer to another function or retirement, the disciplinary proceedings shall be quashed; in any other case they shall be continued. (1) New proceedings shall only be initiated on behalf of the convicted, and only on his application or, after his decease, that of his spouse or one of his descendants under the conditions of Sections 359 and 364 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This application must state the legal reason for new proceedings and the evidence to support it. The application for new proceedings shall not suspend the effect of the judgment. (2) The Federal Constitutional Court shall decide upon the admissibility of the application without oral proceedings. The provisions of Sections 368, 369 (1), (2) and (4), as well as Sections 370 and 371 (1)-(3), Code of Criminal Procedure, shall apply mutatis mutandis. (3) The new main proceedings shall either uphold the former judgment, or order a lenient measure or acquittal. In so far as Land constitutional law currently in force, in accordance with Article 98 (5) (2) of the Basic Law, does not rule otherwise, the regulations contained in this Section shall also apply when the law of a Land contains a regulation for judges of the Land which corresponds to Article 98 (2) of the Basic Law. Only the following may be applicants and opposing parties: the Federal President, the Bundestag, the Bundesrat, the Federal Government, and sections of these organs which have been vested with rights of their own by the Basic Law or the rules of procedure of the Bundestag and Bundesrat. (1) The application shall be admissible only if the applicant asserts that an act or omission of the opposing party has harmed or directly endangered him or the organ of which he is a member in the rights and duties assigned to him or it by the Basic Law. (2) The application shall state the provision of the Basic Law which has been infringed by the act or omission of the opposing party complained of. (3) The application must be made within six months of the act or omission complained of becoming known to the applicant. (4) If the time-limit expired before the entry into force of this Law, the application may be made within three months of the entry into force. (1) The applicant and the opposing party may be joined at any stage of the proceedings by other parties entitled to apply and named in Article 63 above if the decision is also of relevance to the delimitation of their competences. (2) The Federal Constitutional Court shall notify the Federal President, the Bundestag, the Bundesrat and the Federal Government of the institution of proceedings. The Federal Constitutional Court may combine independent proceedings and separate combined ones. In its decision the Federal Constitutional Court shall declare whether the act or omission of the opposing party complained of infringes a provision of the Basic Law. The provision shall be specified. In its decision the Federal Constitutional Court may also decide a point of law which is of relevance to the interpretation of the provision of the Basic Law and on which the declaration pursuant to the first sentence above depends. Only the following may be applicants and opposing parties: for the Federation: the Federal Government, for a Land: the Land Government. The provisions of Articles 64 to 67 above shall apply mutatis mutandis. The decision of the Bundesrat in accordance with Article 84 (4) sentence 1 of the Basic Law may only be challenged within one month of its being taken. (1) Only the following may be applicants and opposing parties: in disputes involving public law between the Federation and the Laender, in accordance with Article 93 (1) (4) of the Basic Law: the Federal Government and the Land governments; in disputes involving public law between the Laender, in accordance with Article 93 (1) (4) of the Basic Law: the Land governments; in disputes involving public law within a Land, in accordance with Article 93 (1) (4) of the Basic Law: the supreme organs of the Land and the parts of these organs vested with their own rights according to the Land constitution or the rules of procedure of a Land supreme organ, if these are directly affected in their rights or competencies by the matter of the dispute. (2) The provision of Article 64 (3) above shall apply mutatis mutandis. (1) The Federal Constitutional Court may in its decision state: the admissibility or inadmissibility of a measure; the obligation of the opposing party to desist from a measure, reverse it, execute it or tolerate it; the obligation to grant a benefit. (2) In the proceedings in accordance with Article 71 (1) (3) above, the Federal Constitutional Court shall state whether the disputed measure or omission on the part of the opposing party is in violation of a provision within the Land constitution. The provisions of Article 67 sentences 2 and 3 above shall apply mutatis mutandis. (1) Only the supreme organs of a Land and those parts of these organs vested with their own rights according to the Land constitution or the rules of procedure of a Land supreme organ may take part in a constitutional dispute within a Land. (2) The provisions of Article 64 (3) above shall apply mutatis mutandis in so far as Land law does not rule otherwise. If Land law does not provide what substance and what effect the decision by the Federal Constitutional Court may have, Article 72 (2) above shall apply mutatis mutandis. For the proceedings, the general provisions of Part II of this Act shall apply mutatis mutandis. (1) An application by the Federal Government, a Land government or one third of the Bundestag members pursuant to Article 93 (1) (2) of the Basic Law shall be admissible only if one of the parties entitled to apply considers Federal or Land law null and void on account of its formal or material incompatibility with the Basic Law or other Federal law, or valid even though a court, administrative authority or a Federal or Land organ did not apply the law because it deemed it incompatible with the Basic Law or other Federal law. (2) The application by the Bundesrat, a Land government or a Land parliament in accordance with Article 93 (1) (2a) of the Basic Law shall only be admissible if the applicant regards a Federal law as null and void due to non-fulfillment of the conditions set out in Article 72 (2) of the Basic Law; the application may also be based on the applicant's opinion that the Federal law fails to meet the conditions of Article 57 (2) of the Basic Law and is thus null and void. The Federal Constitutional Court shall give in cases under Article 76 (1) above, the Bundestag, the Bundesrat, the Federal Government, in differences of opinion over the applicability of Federal law also the Land governments, and over the applicability of a Land law the parliament and government of the Land in which the law was promulgated, in cases under Article 76 (2) above, the Bundestag, the Bundesrat, the Federal Government and the Land parliament and the governments opportunity to express an opinion within a certain period. If the Federal Constitutional Court comes to the conclusion that Federal law is incompatible with the Basic Law or that Land law is incompatible with the Basic Law or other Federal law, it shall declare the law to be null and void. If further provisions of the same law are incompatible with the Basic Law or other Federal law for the same reasons, the Federal Constitutional Court may also declare them to be null and void. (1) New proceedings may be instituted in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure against a final conviction based on a rule which has been declared incompatible with the Basic Law or null and void in accordance with Article 78 above or on the interpretation of a rule which the Federal Constitutional Court has declared incompatible with the Basic Law. (2) In all other respects, subject to the provisions of Article 95 (2) below or a specific statutory provision, final decisions based on a rule declared null and void pursuant to Article 78 above shall remain unaffected. The execution of such decision shall not be admissible. Where enforcement is to be effected in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure the provisions of Article 767 of the Code shall apply mutatis mutandis. Claims on account of unjustified benefit shall be excluded. (1) If the requirements of Article 100 (1) of the Basic Law are met, the Court shall directly obtain a decision by the Federal Constitutional Court. (2) The reasons must state in what respect the decision of the Court depends on the validity of the legal provision and the superior legal rule it is incompatible with. The files shall be submitted. (3) The application by the Court shall be independent of the claim of nullity of the legal provision by a party to the proceedings. The Federal Constitutional Court shall decide solely on the point of law. The chamber may, by unanimous decision, determine the inadmissibility of an application in accordance with Article 80 above. The decision shall remain reserved for the panel if the application is made by a Land constitutional court or a supreme court of the Federation. (1) The provisions of Articles 77 to 79 above shall apply mutatis mutandis. (2) The constitutional organs named in Article 77 above may join the proceedings at any stage. (3) The Federal Constitutional Court shall also give the parties to the proceedings before the court making the application an opportunity to make a statement; it shall summon them to the oral pleadings and permit the agents for the case to speak. (4) The Federal Constitutional Court may ask supreme Federal or Land courts to state how and on the basis of what considerations they have hitherto interpreted the Basic Law with regard to the question in dispute, whether and how they have used in their exercise of justice the legal provision whose validity is contested, and which associated points of law are awaiting decision. It may also ask them to expound their considerations on a point of law of relevance to the decision. The Federal Constitutional Court shall communicate such statement to the parties entitled to make a statement. Article 83 (1) In cases pursuant to Article 100 (2) of the Basic Law the Federal Constitutional Court shall state in its decision whether the rule of public international law is an integral part of Federal law and whether it directly creates rights and duties for the individual. (2) The Federal Constitutional Court must first give the Bundestag, the Bundesrat and the Federal Government an opportunity to make a statement within a specified period. They may join the proceedings at any stage. The provisions of Articles 80 and 82 (3) above shall apply mutatis mutandis. Article 85 (1) If a decision of the Federal Constitutional Court is to be obtained pursuant to the first sentence of Article 100 (3) of the Basic Law, the constitutional court of the Land shall submit the files and state its legal opinion. (2) The Federal Constitutional Court shall give the Bundesrat, the Federal Government and, if it intends to deviate from a decision by a constitutional court of a Land, that court an opportunity to make a statement within a specified period. (3) The Federal Constitutional Court shall decide solely on the point of law. (1) The Bundestag, the Bundesrat, the Federal and Land governments have the right to file an application. (2) If in court proceedings it is a matter of dispute and relevance to determine whether a law continues to apply as Federal law, the court must obtain a decision by the Federal Constitutional Court in analogical application of Article 80 above. (1) The application by the Bundesrat, the Federal Government or a Land government is only admissible if the admissibility of an already executed or immediately forthcoming measure by a Federal organ, a Federal authority or the organ or authority of a Land depends upon the decision. (2) The fulfilment of the condition referred to in (1) above must be clearly stated in the reasons of the application. The provisions of Article 82 above shall apply mutatis mutandis. The Federal Constitutional Court shall declare whether all or part of the law shall continue to apply as Federal law in the whole territory of the Federation or in a certain part of that territory. (1) Any person who claims that one of his basic rights or one of his rights under Articles 20 (4), 33, 38, 101, 103 and 104 of the Basic Law has been violated by public authority may lodge a constitutional complaint with the Federal Constitutional Court. (2) If legal action against the violation is admissible, the constitutional complaint may not be lodged until all remedies have been exhausted. However, the Federal Constitutional Court may decide immediately on a constitutional complaint lodged before all remedies have been exhausted if it is of general relevance or if recourse to other courts first would entail a serious and unavoidable disadvantage for the complainant. (3) The right to lodge a constitutional complaint with the constitutional court of the Land in accordance with the provisions of the Land constitution shall remain unaffected. Municipalities and associations of municipalities may lodge a constitutional complaint on the ground that a Federal or Land law infringes the provisions of Article 28 of the Basic Law. A constitutional complaint may not be lodged with the Federal Constitutional Court if a complaint against violation of the right to self-government may be lodged with the constitutional court of the Land in accordance with Land law. (deleted) The reasons for the complaint shall specify the right which is claimed to have been violated and the act or omission of the organ or authority by which the complainant claims to have been harmed. (1) A constitutional complaint shall be lodged and substantiated within one month. This time-limit shall commence with the service or informal notification of the complete decision, if this is to be effected ex officio in accordance with the relevant procedural provisions. In other instances, the time-limit shall commence when the decision is proclaimed or, if it is not to be proclaimed, when it is otherwise communicated to the complainant; if the complainant does not receive a copy of the complete decision, the time-limit pursuant to the first sentence above shall be suspended by the complainant requesting, either in writing or by making a statement recorded at the court office, a copy of the complete decision. The suspension shall continue until the complete decision is served on the complainant by the court or ex officio or by a party to the proceedings. (2) If a complainant was unable to comply with this time-limit through no fault of his own, he shall on request be granted restitutio in integrum. This request shall be made within two weeks of the hindrance´s disappearance. The reasons for the request shall be substantiated when making the request or during the request proceedings. The omitted legal action must be carried out within the time-limit for the request; if this is done the complainant may be granted a reversal without need for a formal request. The request shall be invalid if made later than one year after the expiry of the time-limit. The fault of the complainant´s attorney shall be seen as equal to that of the complainant himself. (3) If the complaint is directed against a law or some sovereign act against which legal action is not admissible, the complaint may be lodged only within one year of the law entering into force or the sovereign act being announced. (4) If a law has entered into force before 1 April 1951, a constitutional complaint may be lodged until 1 April 1952. (1) A constitutional complaint shall require acceptance. (2) It shall be accepted (a) in so far as it has fundamental constitutional significance, (b) if this is indicated in order to enforce the rights referred to in Article 90 (1) above; this can also be the case if the complainant suffers especially grave disadvantage as a result of refusal to decide on the complaint. The chamber may refuse to accept the constitutional complaint or accept it prior to a decision in the case of Article 93c below. Otherwise the panel shall decide on acceptance. (1) If the conditions of Article 93 a (2) (b) above are fulfilled and if the constitutional issue determining the judgment of the complaint has already been decided upon by the Federal Constitutional Court, the chamber may allow the complaint if it is clearly justified.
