reception
The version of the Liechtenstein Code of Criminal Procedure largely follows the model of the Austrian Code of Criminal Procedure. It is structured similarly (but without subdivision into titles ) and subdivided with paragraphs.
In terms of content, the Liechtenstein StPO also largely follows the Austrian model of reception .
With the introduction of the Liechtenstein Code of Criminal Procedure, the Code of Criminal Procedure of December 31, 1913 was repealed. This Code of Criminal Procedure of 1913 already largely followed the pattern of the earlier Austrian Code of Criminal Procedure.
