Abstract:
On November 27, 1985, the highest court of the Swiss Confederation, the Federal Court, ruled that judicial assistance requests must be sufficiently explicit, and its I. Public Law Division denied a German request in a tax fraud case for lack of stating plausibly the facts for the alleged offense. This case is one in a series of German-Swiss cases delimiting the bounds of compliance with foreign judicial assistance requests.
