What Is a Legal Remedy Procedure (Rechtsmittelverfahren, Germany)?
This is a German procurement term. The procedure by which decisions in a procurement procedure can be challenged.
What legal remedies exist above the thresholds?
The formal complaint to the buyer, the application for review to the procurement chamber, and the immediate appeal to the procurement senate of the Higher Regional Court.
And below the thresholds?
Only a complaint to the buyer and, in the last resort, the civil courts, which can award damages but rarely stop an award.
How long does the review procedure take?
The procurement chamber must decide within five weeks, extendable in complex cases. The appeal takes several months.
