Approximate facts

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As Ungefährtatbestand is called in the historic law a criminal offense in which one of intent presumption is apart. In legal history, it is therefore at the transition between liability for success and liability for fault . Approximate facts are documented in the early Franconian criminal law, which already differentiated between objective and subjective facts , but regarded every act as an expression of criminal will. Only the approximate facts that were firmly determined (e.g. injury to a person by animal traps) were excluded from this.
