Summary

Michael Tetzschner has introduced a constitutional amendment proposing a new third paragraph in Article 95 of the Constitution. The proposer argues that the state should not impose taxes or fees on legal work in court cases, contending this violates the principle of free access to justice that underpinned the original Article 98 (repealed in 2014) and creates barriers for ordinary citizens to reach the courts.
