Legal recourse

(1) Recourse to the administrative courts is available for actions against a decision of the Review Board for Media Harmful to Young Persons to include a medium in the list of media endangering young persons, or to reject an application for removal from the list.
(2) Against a decision of the Review Board for Media Harmful to Young Persons not to include a medium in the list of media endangering young persons, and against a discontinuance of the proceedings, the applicant authority may bring an action before the administrative courts.
(3) The action must be directed against the Federation, represented by the Federal Agency for Child and Youth Protection in the Media.
(4) The action has no suspensive effect. Before bringing the action, no prior review in a preliminary procedure is required; in the case of a decision in the simplified procedure under section 23, however, a decision of the Review Board for Media Harmful to Young Persons in the composition under section 19(5) must first be obtained.
