Overview
- The Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig confirmed it received Neigel’s complaint that seeks permission to appeal the Saxony court’s refusal to allow a further review.
- After losing a 2024 challenge to stricter 2G-Plus rules that the federal court later upheld, Neigel saw the Saxony Higher Administrative Court in February dismiss her suit against the state’s 2G rules for cultural venues and bar a revision.
- Neigel filed a criminal complaint in mid-April naming twelve people, including seven Saxony judges, and prosecutors in Görlitz say there is an initial suspicion of judicial perversion of the law against ten identified individuals, which triggers formal investigation but is not proof of guilt.
- The Saxony court acknowledged a 27-page internal working paper by the case rapporteur existed before the hearing and said it was sent to Neigel by mistake during file access, calling such preparatory drafts a normal part of deliberations.
- Neigel argues the document reads like a prewritten judgment with large overlap with the February ruling, and she says canceled concerts during the pandemic put her in a financial bind that drives her legal push.
