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 Bundesgerichtshof assumes a violation of §§ 22 and 23 of the KUG if pictures are published which have been taken of the person affected in such a situation secretly or by using surprise tactics.
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.

 International Law In Brief - March 18-31, 2000
The Bundesgerichtshof further rejected the defendants' argument that there was a break in the chain of causation in regard to one death due to the resolution in question being traceable to their predecessors in power.
Nor did the Bundesgerichtshof accept the defendants' argument that the differences in the concept of causation between the FRG and GDR were different enough to warrant a reversal.
The Bundesgerichtshof held that the actions of the accused were illegal and unjustified under both GDR border law and the doctrine of State Practice.

If in addition to the substantial damage done to the boat the accident had, by depriving the plaintiff of its use, caused him further damage which could be qualified as economic harm he would have a claim for loss of use (arg.
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.
Recognising that the concept of harm is not a purely legal one but rather an economic concept embedded in the law, the Bundesgerichtshof holds that economic harm occurs only where the victim's loss is something which economists would recognise as a detriment; whether or not this is so depends mainly on public opinion (Verkehrsauffassung) [references].

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.
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.
It is true that according to the practice of the Bundesgerichtshof, particularly of this Division, a claimant whose general right of personality has been severely infringed may be awarded pecuniary damages for his non-pecuniary loss, provided that additional conditions have been met [references].

 N° 2002/5
According to the Bundesgerichtshof, under Paragraph 935 of the Zivilprozessordnung (German Code of Civil Procedure, hereinafter 'the ZPO') an interim measure may be granted if it is feared that a change in the current situation could prevent orsubstantially impede the assertion by a party of his rights.
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.
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.

On the one hand, the Bundesgerichtshof holds that the capital has to be available in the full amount, when the manager registers the necessary amendments to the articles in the Commercial Register.

 Germany 3 November 1999 Supreme Court [translation available]
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.
The Bundesgerichtshof found the complaints sufficient to specify the nature of the lack of conformity and to give the seller an idea thereof so that the seller might then take the necessary steps: It was therefore enough that the buyer name the symptoms and not the actual cause.
Also against this decision of the Bundesgerichtshof, see Piltz, supra note 13, at 558 ("Supplementary, further time periods (beyond those of the actual time period for notice) for the buyer's decision on how to proceed and for the examination of the goods by experts are not compatible with this concept.").

 The German Border Guard Cases and International Human Rights
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.
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.
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.

According to the Bundesgerichtshof, such a solution leads to legal uncertainty, since it is impossible to segregate clearly the areas of law to be governed by the various legal orders.
The answer to that question cannot, according to the Bundesgerichtshof, be clearly deduced from the case-law of the Court of Justice.
However, the Bundesgerichtshof points out that the company had not transferred its seat, since, from its incorporation, its registered office had been in the United Kingdom, whilst its actual centre of administration had been in Denmark.

 The German Border Guard Cases and International Human Rights
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.
Maybe it silently shared the opinion of the Bundesgerichtshof, which had argued that Article 15 Section 2 of the Covenant was irrelevant because in the domestic sphere the constitutional guarantees of human rights (the nullum crimen principle in Article 102 Section 2 Grundgesetz) ranked higher and thus had priority over the rules of international law.
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.

 Conclusions
       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'.
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.
The claimant appealed from the judgment of the Oberlandesgericht to the Bundesgerichtshof.

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.
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.

Jorgic’s appeal was rejected on 30 April 1999 by the Bundesgerichtshof (case no. 3 StR 215/98), and the life sentence for genocide was confirmed.
For legal reasons, the Bundesgerichtshof considered, instead of 11 counts, only one count of genocide in coincidence with the murder of 30 persons, but also handed down a life sentence.
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.

 JUDGMENT OF THE COURT 05-03-1996
However, as the Bundesgerichtshof points out, in the case of the BStG the task assumed by the national legislature concerns only the public at large and is not directed towards any particular person or class of persons who could be regarded as "third parties" within the meaning of the provisions mentioned above.
75 By its third question, the Bundesgerichtshof essentially seeks to establish whether, pursuant to the national legislation which it applies, the national court is entitled to make reparation conditional upon the existence of fault (whether intentional or negligent) on the part of the organ of the State to which the infringement is attributable.
91 By this question, the Bundesgerichtshof asks whether the damage for which reparation may be awarded extends to harm sustained before a judgment is delivered by the Court finding that an infringement has been committed.

"The court decision of the Bundesgerichtshof seems to be the worst Internet-dependent court decision so far," he said.

 N° 2000/4
On application by Mr Bamberski, the President of a civil chamber of the Landgericht (Regional Court) Kempten (Germany), which had jurisdiction ratione loci, declared the judgment of 13 March 1995 to be enforceable in Germany.
Following dismissal by the Oberlandesgericht (Higher Regional Court) of the appeal which he had lodged against that decision, Mr Krombach brought an appeal on a point of law ('Rechtsbeschwerde) before the Bundesgerichtshof in which he submitted that he had been unable effectively to defend himself against the judgment given against him by the French court.
Since these proceedings are, for the parties to the main proceedings, a step in the proceedings pending before the national court, the decision on costs is a matter for that court.

 Germany 8 March 1995 Supreme Court [translation available]
Since such regulations, whether they stem from public law, ideological convictions, or traditional rules of conduct, can differ from country to country (and often greatly differ), the principle point to be decided was whether the public law regulations of the seller's place of business or the buyer's place of business controlled.
The Bundesgerichtshof decided for the seller's place of business and brought to bear an impressive list of authorities for its position.
Certainly, the Bundesgerichtshof's decision is important not only for the application and interpretation of the CISG, but also for cases to be decided under the BGB/HGB, and soon, under the provisions for consumer sales.
