Die Verwaltungshaftung zwischen Bund und Ländern bei der Ausführung der Bundesgesetze

This thesis analyzes liability between the federal and the state in the execution of federal law in Germany. Under the German constitution the federal and the state level share the task of executing federal law. In doing so they may cause damages to each other. This may occur in the inccorrect administration of funds or taxes of the respective other federal level. Another example are third party damage claims for which the other federal level is liable vis-à-vis third parties. Suchs claim may easily reach high sums. The crucial legal basis for damage claims ist Art. 104a Sec. 5 Sentence 1 Part 2 GG. According to this provision the federal level and the state level shall be liable to one another for ensuring proper administration. This raises numerous legal problems that have not been solved yet.
