»Third-Party Protection in Party Financing Law. An Examination of the Origins, Possibilities, Opportunities and Consequences of Third-Party Protection of Simple-Law Regulations in the Area of State Party Financing as a Legal Instrument for Resolving Conflicts Between Political Parties and the State«: This paper answers the question of whether political parties have the subjective right to take legal action to have the Bundestag administration sanction other competing parties under the Political Parties Act or to have the state party funding subsequently corrected to their detriment. To this end, the legal criterion of so-called third-party protection is elaborated from party financing law norms, tested procedurally and examined for legal and actual limits.
