Key legal question
Whether the appellant acted in justified self-help/defense of possession under Art. 926 ZGB and Art. 32 StGB
Extracted holding
The lower court’s analysis was incomplete because it ignored the possession disturbance caused by the respondents’ unlawful presence and therefore could not properly assess proportionality.
Extracted reasoning
Passive refusal to leave the farm already constituted a possession disturbance. The roles of attacker and attacked were misallocated, and the proportionality of the appellant’s response had to be assessed on the whole course of events and from his perspective at the time.
