Zwischenoperationen

Zwischenoperationen, a German term, translates to "intermediate operations" or "interim measures." In a legal context, particularly in German law, it refers to provisional decisions or actions taken by a court or administrative authority while a main case or procedure is still pending. These measures are designed to secure the rights of the parties involved or to prevent irreparable harm before a final judgment can be made.

These interim measures can take various forms depending on the nature of the case. For example, in civil litigation, a court might order a temporary injunction to prevent a party from disposing of assets or continuing a specific action. In family law, Zwischenoperationen could include temporary child support or custody arrangements. Administrative law might see interim measures such as a temporary suspension of a license or permit pending a full review.

The key characteristic of Zwischenoperationen is their temporary nature. They are not intended to resolve the substantive issues of the case but rather to maintain the status quo or provide immediate relief. These measures are usually subject to review and can be modified or revoked once the main proceedings are concluded or further information becomes available. The purpose is to ensure that justice can be effectively administered and that parties are not disadvantaged by delays.
