Supreme Court Controversy Surrounds Mask Decision for Family Judge from Weimar
The 2021 decision garnered nationwide focus, ultimately getting revoked. Back then, the Higher Regional Court in Jena and the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) made it clear that family courts lack jurisdiction in such matters. Currently, the query revolves around the durability of the Erfurt verdict. Both the family court judge and the public prosecutor's office advocate for a reassessment by the supreme court.
In light of the recent developments, there have been calls for the supreme court to reevaluate the Erfurt verdict, with both the family court judge and the public prosecutor's office voicing their support. This issue is of particular interest because the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) previously stated that family court judges do not have jurisdiction over such matters.
