Abstract

With the concept of hypothetical consent, the German jurisprudence has shifted these considerations from an illegality inquiry to an unlawfulness examination. Notwithstanding its origins in the context of unauthorized medical treatments, criminal dogmatic substantiation of hypothetical consent goes far beyond consent in bodily injury. This article attempts to clarify those wider implications by considering not only consent but also sovereign decisions, by which interference of a protected legal right may be licensed, provided the unlawfulness is not expressly or implicitly sustained in the hypothetical disposition act. As will be shown, such an approach entails the hidden risk that formal requirements established for the justification of the decision are circumvented by reducing focus only on the material requirements of the corresponding decision.
