- ↑ The Austrian Constitutional Court (VfGH) has ruled in decision G31 / 2013 et al., V20 / 2013 et al., Item 3.3. That in the case of votes in plenary assemblies, the existing regulation of prospective attorneys on a qualified right to vote and have a say should be permissible, if the different weighting satisfies the objective requirement arising from the principle of equality and is compatible with the democratic principle resulting from Art. 120a and Art. 120c B-VG . The weighting of votes in Section 24 (3) last sentence RAO, however, violates these constitutional requirements, because the fundamental equality of votes inherent in the democratic principle is generally broken, without there being a corresponding objective reason for this and because there is no objective differentiating regulation depending on the subject of the decision and different levels of concern of the respective group of members of the Chamber (e.g. the regulations of the allocation and contribution regulations that only apply to trainee lawyers). If it is a matter of matters in which the trainee lawyers are not particularly affected, it is permissible to provide for different weighting of votes (see also Anwalt Aktuell , 6/13, p. 19 and 7/13, p. 5 , Archived copy ( Memento of the original from November 3, 2013 in the Internet Archive ) Info: The archive link was automatically inserted and not yet checked.
