The Federal Constitutional Court rejects an urgent lawsuit against the accommodation ban

The Federal Constitutional Court has rejected a request for an interim order against the accommodation ban in Schleswig-Holstein. The court announced. Therefore, the request is inadmissible “because the necessary explanations are lacking,” it says in a statement. The applicants have not dealt in depth with the Regulations themselves or with the arguments for and against an objective and temporal prohibition of limited accommodation.

A family from Tübingen had submitted an urgent request against the regulations in force in Schleswig-Holstein on Monday. Since there were more than 50 corona-infected people for every 100,000 inhabitants in the Tübingen district in the last seven days, it is considered a risk area. When checking into your accommodation in Schleswig-Holstein, family members would have to submit a negative corona test that is no more than 48 hours old according to state ordinance.

In general, the accommodation ban causes a serious interference with fundamental rights, argued the constitutional judges. However, interventions may be justified if they are provided as a measure to combat the pandemic.

The Karlsruhe judges did not decide whether the accommodation ban is fundamentally legal. There is still a long way to go before a substantive decision by the Federal Constitutional Court on the controversial accommodation bans is taken.
