Summary
Germany's Constitutional Court rejects most of the constitutional complaints it receives without giving reasons why. But is it actually allowed to do this? Johannes Hilpert examines the court's obligations and finds that providing justification is an indispensable mechanism for establishing democratic control, legal conformity and ensuring an effective submission of individual applications to the European Court of Human Rights.
