Referral of legal consequences
A reference to legal consequences is the law before, when in a legal norm only constituent elements of offenses requirements be established with regard to the legal consequences but in a different standard ( target norm referenced). The legal consequences of the standard to which reference is made therefore occur when the factual requirements of the reference standard are met. The fact of the referenced standard does not have to be fulfilled.
Example: According to Section 823 (1) of the German Civil Code (BGB), the violation of an absolute right obliges to pay damages. According to Section 823, Paragraph 2, Sentence 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB), the same obligation applies to anyone who violates a law intended to protect another person. So according to Paragraph 2 Clause 1 precedes a breach of the protective law, the legal consequence arises by virtue of reference from Paragraph 1 (liability for damages).
This logically achieves the same thing as if Section 823, Paragraph 2, Clause 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB) would read: "Anyone who violates a law intended to protect another is obliged to compensate the other for the resulting damage." However, the referral technique avoids this unnecessary repetition .
If reference is also made to the facts of the other standard, this is referred to as a legal reference .
