Income from Sideline Jobs
at the European Court of Human Rights

The file that follows contains an application to the European Court of Human Rights. The ECHR received the form in the middle of 2007, provided file number 31583/07 and started consideration quickly, despite of its burden with applications from all Europe.

Use of the German language is admitted in such applications. However, I left Germany and gave up my adress in protest of ignoring human right violations by authorities. So I preferred writing my application in English.

All people outside Germany who believe that Germany's old problems were solved should consider this file as a warning.

18. Is there or was there any other appeal or other remedy available to you which you have not used?

A complaint was filed to the administative court (Appendix 13: case VG 2 A 55.07) 1. June 2007. The publication 5. June 2007 did not satisfy the law and the judgement of the constitutional court BVerfG, 2 BvE 1/06 of 4. June 2007 (Appendix 14: see complaint 7. July 2007).

19.

The applicant petitions the European Court of Human Rights to disapprove the decisions of the German courts and to award the applicant damages, which are to be determined by the European Court of Human Rights.

The denial of publication without court order is violating the Convention.

The income of sideline jobs is collected, however only the information if it is more than 1000.- or 3500.- EURO is given. The real number is secret.
