Dessau-Roßlau (dpa / sa) - The State Constitutional Court of Saxony-Anhalt has classified several regulations from the eighth Corona state ordinance of last year as unconstitutional and void.

The court in Dessau-Roßlau said on Friday that there were encroachments on fundamental rights that the state government was not authorized to do under the Federal Infection Protection Act.

The regulations classified as unconstitutional therefore included restrictions on private celebrations, the ban on accommodation, the ban on bus travel and the nationwide closure of restaurants.

According to a court spokeswoman, there are no direct effects on the current regulations because both the Infection Protection Act and the state regulations have been changed in the meantime.

However, there could be consequences for administrative offense proceedings based on the rules in force at the time.

Members of the AfD parliamentary group as well as a non-attached member of parliament have appealed against various regulations from the eighth Corona Containment Ordinance from autumn 2020 with legal action suits.
