Untätigkeitsklage

A special lawsuit you can file when an authority simply does not decide on your application or Widerspruch. It becomes possible once three months have passed without a decision and without an adequate reason for the delay. It often speeds things up considerably — authorities tend to decide quickly once it arrives.

In plain German

Eine Klage, weil die Behörde zu lange nicht über Ihren Antrag entscheidet.

What it means

A special lawsuit you can file when an authority simply does not decide on your application or Widerspruch. It becomes possible once three months have passed without a decision and without an adequate reason for the delay. It often speeds things up considerably — authorities tend to decide quickly once it arrives.

دعوى خاصة يمكنك رفعها عندما تمتنع الجهة الحكومية عن البت في طلبك أو اعتراضك. تصبح ممكنة بعد مرور ثلاثة أشهر دون قرار ودون مبرر كافٍ للتأخير. وغالبًا ما تسرّع الأمور كثيرًا، لأن الجهات تميل إلى الحسم فور وصولها.

As it appears in letters

Nach Ablauf von drei Monaten seit Antragstellung ist die Untätigkeitsklage gemäß § 75 VwGO zulässig.
