Jurisdiction
The schedule of the Federal regulates the competence of the criminal panels such that each Senate for revisions from the district certain Oberlandesgerichte is responsible and performs addition, so-called special responsibilities. Currently (as of 2020) the 4th Criminal Senate has the following tasks:
- The revisions in criminal matters for the districts of the higher regional courts Hamm and Zweibrücken ;
- the revisions in traffic criminal matters (including the predatory attack on motorists as well as the railroad and air accidents and the cases in which a traffic offense coincides with other criminal offenses) except driving without a driving license, if this coincides with other criminal offenses;
- the decisions under Section 42 of the Law on International Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters;
- the decisions in the event that the matter is referred back to another criminal division of the Federal Court of Justice, unless the 2nd criminal division is responsible;
- the decisions according to Section 13 Paragraph 4 and Section 25 Paragraph 1 Clause 4 of the Criminal Rehabilitation Act (StrRehaG).
decisions
The 4th Criminal Senate has special responsibility for traffic criminal law . As a result, the Senate was often concerned with questions of the effects of alcohol on the culpability and the treatment of the actio libera in causa .
Above all, under the chairmanship of Meyer-Goßner , the 4th Criminal Senate also exerted a decisive influence on the training of criminal procedural law. The judicature of the court on the problem of mutual understanding in criminal proceedings is based on fundamental decisions of this Senate.
