Hmm, maybe I need to use a disclaimer or defintion: "BGH, Germany's highest court in civil matters, with further appeals only available to BVerfG on questions of constitutional law"? :)Birgit Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822674465997696890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-91791226482401795822012-01-17T16:31:38.693+00:002012-01-17T16:31:38.693+00:00Birgit, the problem arises because the generally a...Birgit, the problem arises because the generally adopted "translation" of BGH is the Federal Supreme Court.

I hope I did not say or imply that the BGH was the highest court in Germany, it is however the highest court for, inter alia, civil and criminal law matters. I usually translate BVerfG as German Federal *Constitutional* Court to show that the BVerfG decides on constitutional law.Birgit Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822674465997696890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-5233947327826177952012-01-17T09:41:38.434+00:002012-01-17T09:41:38.434+00:00Just a small caveat: The Bundesgerichtshof (BGH) i...Just a small caveat: The Bundesgerichtshof (BGH) is not the highest court in Germany, that's the Bundesverfassungsgericht (BVerfG). Complaints about the constitutionality of laws etc. go to the Bundesverfassungsgericht, also, decisions by the BGH can be checked for constitutionality by the BVerfG.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203616675822601486noreply@blogger.com
