The partial blockade especially hits restaurateurs, hoteliers and event organizers. Lawsuits against the new crown restrictions are being filed in administrative courts across the country, in some cases from very different professions.
Several lawsuits have already been filed in various federal states against the crown’s strict restrictions in November. According to a spokesperson, the Berlin Administrative Court received 39 urgent applications on Monday afternoon, mostly from restaurateurs. They object to the fact that they have to close their premises to guests for at least four weeks. Applicants also included a gym and concert promoter. The time when the court will decide on the applications is still open.
The Bavarian Administrative Court in Munich registered more than a dozen lawsuits against the regulations at the beginning of the partial closure. A court spokesperson said 13 rulings and two main proceedings had been received as of Monday. According to the court, the proceedings mainly concern the closure of hotels to tourists and the prohibition of serving guests in restaurants. A four-week partial lockdown has begun in Germany, which is destined to break the second crown wave. In all federal states, hotels and restaurants, cinemas, museums and theaters, as well as other entertainment facilities, are largely closed.
Beauty salons, pools, and bookmakers complain
Also in Brandenburg, the first companies are cracking down on the stricter restrictions. A court spokeswoman said two urgent requests had reached the Higher Administrative Court in Berlin-Brandenburg. It is a tattoo and tanning studio. The Higher Administrative Court has received three lawsuits against the new Crown regulation in Schleswig-Holstein. One comes from a company that operates a facility with 24 vacation apartments on the island of Sylt, a court spokeswoman in Schleswig said.
In Lower Saxony, restaurants, tattoo and piercing studios, a cosmetic studio, a swimming pool, a games room and a betting office turned to the Higher Administrative Court in Lüneburg. In Hamburg, administrative courts currently have to deal with crown rules in 35 proceedings; however, most of these do not refer to the last adjustment, but to the restrictions already imposed. An urgent procedure before the administrative court is explicitly directed against the current version of the Hamburg Crown Regulations, a court spokesman said.
The parliamentary group AfD in the Saxon state parliament wants the new protective ordinance of the Saxon crown to be reviewed by the constitutional court of the Free State. The parliamentary group announced that the corresponding regulation control complaint should be sent to Leipzig by fax this Monday. According to the leader of the party and the parliamentary group Jörg Urban, the AfD pursues two concerns: on the one hand, the state parliament must have a voice in the measures of the crown and, on the other hand, the restrictions imposed must be controlled.
