He's seen about in the same way here. And Germany is seen as "the world championship of penal law" . No joke.
Of course. I must admit I am not very good with English legal terms.
Well actually, neither am I . It was just a prima facie traduction of the spanish expression "intento desistido".
Now I got it. You mean for example if someone commits a false oath to prevent his father from being convicted. We have these clauses, too. I call them in my notorious clumsy way: personal reason for punishment exclusion (word-by-word from German)
Yes! We call it the same way here.
He´s more involved in civil law, I think. His wife is Argentinian and he told us he runs an office in Buenos Aires besides his law firm in Germany. The rumor goes that he made a fortune by starting to specialise in international private law many years before the issue got that popular as it is now. The university of Bielefeld gave him the title professor iur. h.c.
No, I don't recognize him, then again, I'm new at the field (2nd year in the study), so I'll ask for him.
