The order for notifications in civil matters ( MiZi ) is a German administrative regulation . This regulates in which cases and to what extent civil courts may pass on information from ongoing and completed civil proceedings to third parties in the broader sense, in particular to authorities . The MiZi thus specifies the statutory notification obligations under various laws, e.g. B. the Introductory Act to the Courts Constitution Act , the FamFG and the Insolvency Code .
For example, a bankruptcy proceedings opened against a company, the information bankruptcy court , the prosecutor's office about the process. On the basis of the principle of legality , this then checks whether they are initiating investigative proceedings against the management or the shareholders for a criminal offense (e.g. fraud or the delay in bankruptcy ) .
The MiZi is only an internally binding instruction. In contrast to the statutory notification obligations, it is not externally binding. The MiZi binds the judicial administration , but not the courts .
The counterpart in criminal law is the order on notifications in criminal matters (MiStra).
