Prerequisite
You are interested in the content of a specific court decision
Procedure
Would you like to use the decision privately? Check the case law database to see if the decision is available there. The case law database contains all judgements and decisions of Baden-Württemberg courts that are classified as worthy of publication.
Can't find the decision in the database? Or do you want to use it commercially, especially for publication purposes? Request the decision directly from the court that issued it.
You can request the decision in writing (letter or fax), in person or by e-mail. You should provide the following information:
- Your full address (with telephone and fax number)
- if known: Reference number of the decision
- if known: Date of the decision
- a rough description of what the decision is about
In most cases, you will receive the decision in the same form in which you requested it. Exceptions are older decisions that are not stored on data carriers. You will always receive these in writing by post or fax.
