Helene Lieser · 1937
Helene Lieser’s 1937 review of Aktiengesetz mit Einführungsgesetz vom 30. Jänner 1937 assesses a statutory text edition through its practical aids to comprehension and reference. Its brief judgment turns on the distinction between commentary and editorial apparatus:
Es handelt sich um einen kommentarlosen Abdruck des Gesetzestextes, doch ist durch das Sachverzeichnis und die Begründung sowie durch geschickt angebrachte Verweisungen für besseres Verständnis und leichtes Auffinden einzelner Materien vorgesorgt.
English translation: This is a reproduction of the statutory text without commentary, but the subject index and the explanatory statement, together with skillfully placed cross-references, provide for better understanding and easy location of individual topics.
Lieser credits the index, official explanatory statement, and cross-references with making the legislation usable. Her appraisal concerns access to the law, offering no substantive evaluation of its provisions.
