It also considers civil legal relations (with rare exceptions) with dispute amounts of more than 15,000 euros. In addition, the Graz Land Court for Civil Cases considers appeals against decisions of the Styrian district courts in the territorial jurisdiction of this court, as well as considers cases under Austrian labor and social law in this part of the federal state of Styria, regardless of the amount of the dispute. Keeping a register of all the companies established in Styria , which are in the territorial jurisdiction of this court, is also the prerogative of the Graz Land Court for Civil Cases . ^[four]

The territorial jurisdiction of the Graz Land Court for Civil Cases covers the entire southeastern part of the federal state of Styria and extends to the state of Graz and its seven political districts: Weiz , Graz-Umgebung , Deutschlandsberg , Südoststeyermark , Leibniz , Voitsberg and Hartberg-Fürstenfelfen .

Background

The revolution of 1848 significantly influenced the Austrian jurisdiction of that time, forming the prerequisites that are valid to this day. The judicial system, created in those days, has not substantially changed until our time. Four levels of courts of the following types were created: district courts, land courts, higher regional (appeal) courts, and the Supreme Court . These four types of courts were differentiated by the size of the claim or the gravity of the crime, up to the appeal of their decisions in higher courts. The Supreme Court , as the last resort, was already in Vienna and during the time of the empire and its functions from 1918 until today (with the exception of the period of National Socialism) remained practically unchanged.

The next level, below the Supreme Court , is formed by the higher courts. In 1855 there were nineteen of them in the whole empire , and today there are only four of them left in Austria , namely in Vienna , Graz , Innsbruck and Linz . They operate mainly as courts of appeal . This is followed by the so-called first instance courts. This collective term became necessary, because, in addition to district courts, there were also land courts, as well as other special district courts: commercial, juvenile and on social and labor law. Of all these courts that have existed since the time of the monarchy , naturally, a significant number already do not exist. Within present-day Austria, there were initially seventeen, and now twenty after the Vienna Youth Court was dissolved in 2003. ^[6]

Hierarchy

Currently, the Graz High Land Court has jurisdiction over the Graz Land Civil Court , the Graz Land Criminal Court , the Klagenfurt Regional Court and the Leoben Regional Court . The lowest level of jurisdiction , ultimately, is formed in district courts . In Styria (within modern borders) there were initially 45 district courts, of which 23 fell into the scope (jurisdiction) of the Graz Land Court for Civil Cases (then simply the Graz Land Court ). ^[7] This number of courts remained for a rather long time, until not reduced to eight. The district courts, which fall under the jurisdiction of the Graz Land Civil Court , are currently located in Weiz , Graz-West , Graz-Ost , Deutschlandsberg , Leibniz , Feldbach , Voitsberg and Fürstenfeld . ^[3] Over the past 160 years, in addition to judicial mergers and modifications to their sizes, the jurisdiction of district courts has also changed due to differentiation of the limits of the value of the claim, renaming, which was natural. Again and again on the basis of proposals or ideas for real support and changes in the content of this organization of the judicial system. For example, it was about the reorganization of the tribunals of first instance with the extension of this program to the district courts. These courts had to be strengthened in order to abandon the courts of appeal. But this reform was blocked. The whole Austrian judicial system therefore, since the mid-19th century, has largely settled down and has remained virtually unchanged in the vertical of power and is still in use. ^[eight]
