Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the claims for Opferhilfe compensation and satisfaction were governed by the old or new victims' assistance law
Extrahierter Entscheid
The old law applied; however, the lower court failed to examine whether the alleged later-emerging psychological harm could bring the case within the temporal scope of the old law.
Extrahierte Begründung
Because the alleged acts and their consequences both predated 1 January 2009, the new law did not apply. Under the old law, the court had to consider whether the facts could also amount to serious bodily injury with a later-occurring result, which might make Art. 11-17 aOHG applicable.
