Robert Seegmuller, chairman of the Association of German Administrative Law Judges, claimed the sheer number of migrants challenging the decision of immigration authorities has put a huge strain on the judicial system.

He said: “The situation is dramatic for administrative courts. We are now completely stretched to our limits.”
