<div id="ygrps-yiv-843876986">We had a thread recently about juridicial questions re: the<br/>
Luxembourg-German condominiums on the Moselle, Our and Sauer rivers. I found<br/>
the time now to study the D-L treaty of 19 December 1984 in detail.<br/>
<br/>
Article 5, para 1, says that Luxembourg and Germany will settle issues<br/>
regarding the applicable law in a separate arrangement. This happens in the<br/>
annexed exchange of notes under the same date. According to item 1 of that<br/>
note, second paragraph, the applicable law is governed according to where<br/>
the relevant plot of land on which the crime is committed is registered<br/>
under civil law. In other words: If I kill Mike on a piece of land - within<br/>
the condominium - which is registered in Luxembourg the Grand Duke will come<br/>
and put me on handcuffs; unclear to me remains what will happen if I kill<br/>
Mike on a boat trip right in the middle of the river.<br/>

All names mentioned here are purely fictitious, of course.<br/>
