Claim LD05-HQ-C14 (v1.1)
An Austrian administrative court (BVwG, September 2025) assigned the substantive final AMAS assessment to counsellors and rejected classification of the process as solely automated; this legal finding does not establish effective discretion in practice.

Version
This is the current version, v1.1. Earlier versions stay available, and their records never change.
What changed in this version
This version supersedes version v1.0 (LD05-HQ-C14--v1.0), which stays available with its record unchanged.
- Changed fields
- 2 PUBLIC-FACING CLAIM; 6 SOURCE; 25 RECORDED DATE
- What changed
- The public-facing claim now names the one decision HQ verified, the Federal Administrative Court (BVwG) decision of 1 September 2025, instead of "Austrian courts", and the source field cites only that decision, dropping "prior VwGH/BVwG procedural history". The legal finding and the effective-discretion boundary are unchanged.
- Why
- A claim check on 13 October 2026 found that the HQ notes verify a single decision (BVwG W256 2235360-1, 1 September 2025); HQ recorded the earlier VwGH/BVwG procedural history as part of the legal record but did not verify its content, so the plural "courts" claimed more than the record shows. Field 6 now cites only the verified decision; the same Source record is still cited. The check and this revision were done by AI agents against the HQ notes, not by a person.
