In this regard, it specifically discusses the liability privileges accorded to livestock owners under § 883, clause 2. The commentaries regarding § 835 constitute the most comprehensive treatment on compensation for damages related to wildlife and hunting in Germany. The updated commentary on § 836 features new discussions about liability for homeowners associations. The commentaries have been thoroughly revised throughout the volume to incorporate new case law and literature.
