 N° 2002/5
The Bundesgerichtshof is also uncertain whether, if it were to uphold the order for enforcement, it may, or must, maintain the financial penalty which the Landgericht Koblenz, on the basis of German law, attached to the order of the Tribunale di Bari in case the latter order was not enforced.
The Bundesgerichtshof states that, if those decisions are irreconcilable, the court of the State in which enforcement is sought should nevertheless have the power to disapply Article 27(3) of the Brussels Convention if it considers that, from the point of view of that State, the divergence is not sufficiently significant.
Where a court of the State in which recognition is sought finds that a judgment of a court of another Contracting State is irreconcilable with a judgment given by a court of the former State in a dispute between the same parties, it is required to refuse to recognise the foreign judgment.

 International Law In Brief - March 18-31, 2000
The Bundesgerichtshof held that the actions of the accused were illegal and unjustified under both GDR border law and the doctrine of State Practice.
The Bundesgerichtshof rejected the State Attorney's appeal of the sentence, finding the sentence to have been within the discretion of the trial court.
The Bundesgerichtshof found that while the shooting of refugees was "legal" and even sanctioned under GDR law, such legal doctrines could serve as neither justification nor excuse for manslaughter.

 Bundesgerichtshof 15 November 1983, BGHZ 89, 60 (loss of use of speedboat)
Decisions of the Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof)
In cases concerning the loss of use of a motor car the Bundesgerichtshof has developed certain tests in order to decide whether a harm is economic or not.
The strict test has led the Bundesgerichtshof on several occasions to deny compensation for loss of use of property other than motor cars (BGHZ 63, 393 - fur coat; 76, 179 - private swimming pool; 86, 128 - caravan).

 German Law Cases : Institute of Global Law
For this reason the Bundesgerichtshof did not dispute the prohibition on dissemination of photos from the garden café which are admittedly a subject of the decisions challenged, but not of the constitutional complaint.
The Bundesgerichtshof quashed the judgment of the Oberlandesgericht in part, and revised the judgment of the Landgericht in part, so that the defendant in the original proceedings was ordered to refrain from fresh publication of the photographs printed in the magazine "Freizeit Revue" with the picture of the complainant.
The decision of the Bundesgerichtshof in relation to those photographs which show the complainant on her way to the market, with a bodyguard at the market and with a companion in a well patronised café gives no cause for objection by the Constitutional Court.

 Translated German Cases Institute of Global Law, UCL
According to a constant practice of the Bundesgerichtshof, maintained until now in the face of attacks by some writers [references], no claims in tort are allowed by the law in force in cases of ‘intrusion of a marriage’ either against the guilty spouse or against the intruding third party.
The plaintiff was wrong in referring to the practice of the Bundesgerichtshof according to which a person whose right of personality had been injured can in certain circumstances demand pecuniary damages as compensation for his non-pecuniary damage.

 Conclusions
In particular, the Bundesgerichtshof asks whether a specific contractual term at issue in the main proceedings is to be regarded as being unfair within the meaning of Article 3(1) of the Directive.
       In this case the Bundesgerichtshof (Federal Court of Justice) has referred a question on the interpretation of Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts, (2) hereinafter referred to as 'the Directive'.

 The German Border Guard Cases and International Human Rights
Apparently the main concern of the Bundesgerichtshof was not to find the proof of `hard' international law but rather evidence of a common conviction about basic elements of justice which could be considered as forming a `higher law' prevailing over the domestic laws and administrative rules of the GDR.
The Court concluded that a national law which allowed the escape of an unarmed fugitive to be prevented at the cost of the person's life, in contradiction to the Covenant, was null and void and could not be invoked by the defendant.
In the opinion of the Bundesgerichtshof these principles were not meant to cover the relationship between a state and its citizens, in contrast to interstate relations.

 Germany 3 November 1999 Supreme Court [translation available]
With this decision the Bundesgerichtshof has established a sensible alleviation of the notice requirements that also accords with the line of cases from the 7th Senate on defective performance in service contracts.
The Bundesgerichtshof, on the other hand, had in a 1982 decision already warned against making the requirements for substantiating a lack of conformity overly strict, because otherwise the risk of defective contract performance would be largely assigned to the buyer.

On January 16, the Bundesgerichtshof, the federal court of Germany, decided that RWE, the operator of the nuclear power plant in Mülheim-Kährlich, has the right to sue the state government.
But for the second license in 1977, the court agreed with RWE.

 International Trademark Association
In the cases at issue, which were references to the ECJ by the German Bundesgerichtshof, the three-dimensional trademarks in question were a certain forklift, a pocket lamp/torch and a particular wristwatch.
In this decision, the Court held that with respect to three-dimensional shapes of product trademarks, the criteria of Article 3(1) of the first EC-Trademark Directive of 1988 must not be applied in a stricter way than with respect to other types of trademarks.
This case has been long awaited in Germany due to the differences in opinion regarding this question between the German Patent and Trademark Office, the German Patent Court and the Bundesgerichtshof.

There is a likelihood of confusion within the meaning of Article 4(1)(b) of the Directive where the public can be mistaken as to the origin of the goods or services in question.

The court, called the Bundesgerichtshof, issued a ruling on Tuesday that overturned a lower court ruling, and found that German law applies even to foreigners who post content on the Web in other countries -- so long as that content can be accessed by people inside of Germany.
He said he will contact Germany's highest court on Monday morning and invite someone from the court for a debate before Germany's legislature on the ruling - and how it should be applied in the future.
Like the French court ruling about a month ago which forbade the American company Yahoo from selling Nazi artifacts, I wonder how they intend to enforce this.

Applying the two-step analysis, the Bundesgerichtshof reversed the appellate court's decision.
The Bundesgerichtshof, however, stated that length should not be a consideration.
It remains unclear how the "nucleus of an invention" can be defined and distinguished from "the invention as a whole," but the term nonetheless conveys the highly restrictive approach of the Court.

From this, the Court concluded that although the publications concerned were placed on a foreign web server by a foreigner, the criminal act of inciting the public had nevertheless consequences in Germany, since the publications and their contents were available to the German public.
The lower court sentenced him to 10 months of imprisonment for offending the memory of the deceased, but found that the German laws on Nazi propaganda could not be applied to electronic publications on the internet because the web server on which the publications were accessible was located in Australia.
The Bundesgerichtshof overturned the decision by applying paragraph 9, section 1 of the German Criminal Code concerning the locus delicti, which states that the places where the consequences of a criminal act have taken effect are also considered to be part of the locus delicti.

The Court further confirmed the lower instance’s finding that the accused’s guilt weighed particulary heavy — which forestalls an early release after 15 years.
The Bundesgerichtshof also stated that genocide, according to the genocide convention of November 9, 1948 (which Germany has ratified), was a crime that could legaly be prosecuted by all states.

 The German Border Guard Cases and International Human Rights
Thus, where a state seriously disregards basic human rights generally recognized by the international legal community, the rules of criminal law neglecting such standards could not legitimately be expected to be considered valid under the Grundgesetz.
This argument is not convincing because it is established in the case law of the Bundesverfassungsgericht that constitutional provisions should be interpreted in the light of the human rights treaties to which Germany is a party.
The Court began by considering the idea underlying the rule of non-retroactivity, namely, that a person should be protected in his or her legitimate expectation that his or her activities could only be prosecuted as criminal offences if this was provided for by law at the time the activities occurred.
