Acquisition of Austrian citizenship by notification (§ 58c StbG): Extended opportunities for descendants of victims of National Socialism

7. July 2022
The Austrian Citizenship Act provides the possibility for descendants of victims of National Socialism to obtain Austrian citizenship by filing a complaint. Already several thousands of descendants, for example of Holocaust survivors, have obtained Austrian citizenship in this way. The Austrian legislator has now included further groups of persons in the circle of those entitled to citizenship in order to eliminate cases of hardship.

Excursion to the Austrian Constitutional Court

1. July 2022
Last Monday, we visited the Austrian Constitutional Court as part of our office excursion. Despite the ongoing summer session of the Constitutional Court, we received a very friendly welcome there. Apart from our legal "daily business", the interesting and expert lecture by the head librarian, Hon.-Prof. Dr. Josef Pauser, and the subsequent tour were an excellent opportunity for us and our staff to gain a direct and personal impression of the history, the working methods, the representative building and the importance of this Austrian supreme court. Since we repeatedly submit appeals to the Constitutional Court in the name of and on behalf of our clients, the lecture complements our legal work and will remain a very good memory for us in our regular professional activities, which often include submissions to the Constitutional Court (complaints against decisions and legal norms). The convivial lunch in the nearby courtyard of the Schottenstift was the pleasant finale of our law firm excursion.

New Publication on the Subject of Energy Law Grid Operators’ Line Rights

26. November 2021
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Georg Rihs has published an article in the journal Recht der Umwelt (RdU) on the subject of pipeline rights and easements held by (electricity) network operators. The article deals with the legal basis for the use of third-party land by electricity network operators. In the past, network operators have often based their claims on the fact that they are "obvious easements" (lines, pylons) on third-party land. However, such easements are only granted to a specific person who exercises them. A legal succession or a change on the part of the electricity grid operator may lead to the expiry of this easement. Case law also supports the assumption that private-law line rights/obligations do not automatically pass to a legal successor. Landowners whose land is encumbered by lines can question the legality of the network operators' line rights on their land. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about third-party pipeline rights on your land!
