Jurisdiction on the Internet

Selected decisions of the Federal Constitutional Court, the Federal Supreme Courts and the Federal Patent Court from 2010 onwards will be made available free of charge on the Internet by the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection and the Federal Office of Justice. The decisions are anonymised and are generally published unabridged. In addition to certain basic information such as the reference number or the date of the decision, evidence is provided, inter alia, of the guidelines drawn up by the formation of the court or formed with its consent, the legal rules that were relevant to the content of the decision, or information on the course of proceedings of the lower courts and reference numbers. The database is updated daily. The decisions are available for free use and re-use in all formats offered.
