Warning:
The court decisions reproduced on this homepage represent a small portion of legal developments over several decades. Not all judgments necessarily reflect the current legal situation.
Some decisions represent minor opinions or were changed later in court or were overruled by higher court decisions or changes in the law.
The law is always changing. Therefore constant updates cannot be guaranteed.
A simple reproduction of these decisions cannot therefore be a substitute for sound legal advice.
Therefore no responsibility can be accepted for incorrect legal use of the decisions reproduced here by third parties outside the Krau Law Firm.
Please understand the texts on this homepage as an intellectual stimulus for in-depth research, but in no way as legal advice.
It should not give the wrong impression that the published judgments were reached by the Krau law firm. Generally this is not true. Rather, it is a general section of German legal life for the information of those seeking legal advice.
