The hearing at the Federal Constitutional Court on the nuclear phase-out. No space left for legal ''tricks''

Can lawyers do magic? At least some lawyers believe (even) to do. But does this work? Observers of the hearing of the German Constitutional Court trying the nuclear phase and the revision of the German Atomic Act on 15/16 March 2016 may believe it. The German Constitutional Court is trying the constitutional complaint proceedings of E.ON, RWE and Vattenfall on the legality of nuclear phase-out in Germany, essentially to the question of the compatibility of this law with the fundamental rights of the operating companies, in particular their right to property, to freedom of occupation, to equal treatment and protection of legitimate expectations.
