Headnote

1. Decisions of the Examination Board may in principle only be reviewed for the purposes of establishing that they do not infringe the REE, the provisions relating to its application or higher-ranking law. Value judgments are not, in principle, subject to judicial review.

2. It is not the task of the Disciplinary Board of Appeal to reconsider the examination procedure on its merits. Only serious and obvious mistakes, on which the contested decision is based, can be considered. The alleged mistake must be so obvious that it can be established without re-opening the entire marking procedure.
