Article 19 (Restriction of basic rights – Legal remedies)
|
| (1) Insofar as, under this Basic Law, a basic right may be restricted by or pursuant to a law, such law must apply generally and not merely to a single case. In addition, the law must specify the basic right affected and the Article in which it appears.
|
| (2) In no case may the essence of a basic right be affected.
|
| (3) The basic rights shall also apply to domestic legal persons to the extent that the nature of such rights permits.
|
| (4) Should any person’s rights be violated by public authority, he may have recourse to the courts. If no other jurisdiction has been established, recourse shall be to the ordinary courts. The second sentence of paragraph (2) of Article 10 shall not be affected by this paragraph.
