Comparative law notes

Germany

Since the "objektiver Tatbestand" consists of factual elements that beyond the simple act itself, please use this translation conservatively.  It does, however, convey the physical elements of a crime, which may suffice if the context involves the distinction between the "physical act" and the "mental state" of the perpetrator ("mens rea").
