THREAT OF DEATH – REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS AND EXPENSES FOR PERSONAL SECURITY (OGH 22.05.2014, 2 OB 28/14B)

August 3rd, 2014

If a plaintiff feels the need to hire personal security based on (anonymous) threats of death via SMS, a claim of reimbursement of costs is not foreclosed – depending on the severity of the threats. The certainty to live without any danger to physical integrity is just as protected by penal law as the physical integrity itself.
