A rooster is not a Viennese alarm clock, a horse is not a car

A sleepless Liesinger won in court. A rider, on the other hand, has to cut corners when it comes to compensation for her horse.

Wien. Law is sometimes a very serious industry. A classic question is to what extent you, as a neighbor, have to let animal noises spoil your sleep.
