Florian Warweg reported that he had attempted to recover a deposit of 5,000 euros that he had made for access to the Federal Press Conference (BPK) following a ruling by the Berlin Regional Court. After the BPK withdrew its appeal against the judgment from July 2023 in March 2026, this ruling became final. It awarded Warweg access and the right to ask questions at the BPK like a member. According to Warweg, he submitted documents for the refund in early May 2026. However, the deposit office of the Tiergarten District Court additionally required a certified copy of the judgment with a finality stamp; a notarized copy was not sufficient. He received no response for months to his request at the Regional Court. An inquiry from his lawyer, Markus Kompa, also initially yielded no results. In August, the deposit office instructed him to resolve the matter within two weeks, otherwise the application would be considered resolved. Warweg pointed out the pending response from the Regional Court; this statement was initially accepted. In further inquiries, he claimed to have been referred between different phone numbers and locations of the Berlin II Regional Court. He asked the X community about experiences with deposit matters and applications for judgments with finality stamps in Berlin, as well as for tips on how to achieve the refund. #Bürokratie #Recht #BerlinerJustiz (translated)
