Liechtenstein collection of laws
The Liechtenstein Collection of Laws ( LILEX ) is an online documentation of the entire database of legal provisions of the Principality of Liechtenstein that is accessible to the general public free of charge and without registration within the framework of e-government .
Scope and performance
All legal provisions of the Principality of Liechtenstein can be accessed free of charge in the Lilex legal database. The database allows simple and combined full-text searches in the systematic (currently applicable, consolidated edicts) and in the chronological collection. The search is carried out by default in state law, but can optionally also be carried out in state contract law or in the entire body of law. The search can also be limited to the title of the enactment or abbreviations. The data is made available in the data formats HTML and PDF .
With regard to the consolidated versions, the database is usually updated monthly (menu item "Simple Search" and "Advanced Search"). The menu item "Regional Law Gazette authentic" is updated daily (as far as new state law journals have appeared).
Since January 1, 2013, the legal provisions published in the Lilex legal database have been binding (as in the Austrian RIS ).
Lilex does not contain any jurisprudence from Liechtenstein courts or the EFTA Court . The judicature of Liechtenstein courts is partially available free of charge on a separate website. There are also paid services from specialized publishers and legal magazines.
Development and updating
The Government Legal Service (RDR) is responsible for developing and updating the Lilex database . This is a permanent staff unit of the Liechtenstein government and reports directly to the head of government.
In addition to updating and developing Lilex, the legal service is responsible for the publication of the State Law Gazette (LGBl), the LR register and the text editions. This includes the technical preparatory work and the proofreading of the legal provisions to be published in the State Law Gazette.
Structure of the Lilex database

Further development - electronic database
On April 25, 2012, a revision of the Announcement Act was passed by the State Parliament, creating the legal basis for the legally effective electronic publication of legal provisions in the State Law Gazette (see LGBl. 2012 No. 172). From January 1, 2013, only the electronic publication of legal provisions on the Internet is legally binding. The announcement in paper form is not applicable.
To ensure the authenticity and integrity of the legal provisions, the relevant files are provided with an electronic signature and created in an upwardly compatible format (cf. the report and application by the government to the state parliament to amend the Announcement Act BuA No. 2011/132). In this regard, the new Liechtenstein regulation is based on the Austrian regulation ( legal information system of the Republic of Austria ), which is still considered exemplary internationally and has proven itself in practice.
