Nuclear phase-out last act? Are the new compensation regulations for frustrated expenses in accordance with the constitution?

  • 1. Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft, Duesseldorf (Germany)

Description

Shortly before it was passed, the legislature reacted to the constitutional deficiencies which the Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) objected to in its judgment of 6 December 2016 on the nuclear phase-out (BVerfGE 143, 246) and for which a constitutional situation had to be established by 30 June 2018. However, the newly created compensation regulations in the 16th amendment to the Atomic Energy Act raise new legal questions, especially those relating to their constitutionality.
