Judikatur durchsuchen
ris_judikaturRetrieve Austrian court decisions using filters like jurisdiction, court, legal norm, or keywords, with results as headnotes or full texts.
Instructions
Search Austrian court decisions (Judikatur).
Use this tool to find court decisions from Austrian courts. Choose the jurisdiction via "gerichtsbarkeit" (which court system to search).
RIS distinguishes two document kinds, controlled by "dokumenttyp":
Rechtssatz: abstract legal principle / headnote (Leitsatz) distilled from a decision
Entscheidungstext: the full decision text including reasoning (Begruendung) The default "beide" searches both for the most complete results.
Example queries:
gerichtsbarkeit="Vfgh", suchworte="Grundrecht" -> Constitutional Court decisions
suchworte="Schadenersatz", gericht="OGH" -> Only Supreme Court (OGH) decisions
norm="1295 ABGB" -> Which decisions cite §1295 ABGB?
gerichtsbarkeit="Justiz", fachgebiet="Arbeitsrecht", sortierung="datum_ab" -> Newest labor-law decisions
