Request conciliation procedure on disability equality
Do you have the impression that a public body of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen or Bremerhaven is violating the prohibition of discrimination or guarantees of accessibility?
-
Basic information
The arbitration board is based at the State Disability Commissioner of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen and is tasked with settling disputes between people with disabilities and public bodies out of court.
It is open to all citizens with disabilities as well as associations in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen that are entitled to bring legal action.
Unlike many court proceedings, no legal counsel is required for this.
The Free Hanseatic City of Bremen is thus creating a contact point to eliminate discrimination and violations of the principles of accessibility. The aim of conciliation proceedings is to reach an amicable agreement between a civilian and the relevant public body. If mediation fails, subsequent court proceedings are usually possible.Requirements
- You have a disability.
- You have therefore been disadvantaged by a public body of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen - for example, because barriers have not been sufficiently removed.

Procedure
The application to initiate conciliation proceedings can be submitted in text form, for recording at the office of the conciliation body or in electronic form. It must include a description of the facts of the case, the objective pursued, the name and address of the applicant and the public body involved.
The following criteria lead to the rejection of a request for conciliation:
- Ongoing or completed court proceedings with the same subject matter of the dispute
- Conciliation proceedings are not directed against a public body
If you are not sure whether your matter can be submitted to conciliation proceedings, please ask the office for an initial assessment by the conciliators appointed by the Bremen Parliament. They are all qualified to hold judicial office and have the specialist knowledge and skills to settle disputes in the area of the BremBGG. They are independent and not bound by instructions.
The conciliation procedure ends when the parties involved reach an agreement, the request for conciliation is withdrawn or it is determined that no agreement can be reached. If no agreement can be reached, the conciliation procedure ends with the delivery of the conciliation body's confirmation to the applicant that no amicable agreement could be reached.
