parties, that the same jury shall act in all the cases. If a jury is
to be empanelled jointly for two or more cases, the provisions
of Article 11 concerning the exclusion of jurors in a case in
which there is more than one party on one side apply in a
similar manner.
Art. 14. If, in proceedings concerning liability under penal law,
an action for damages is brought against a person other than the
defendant, the measures which fall under Article 2, paragraph
one, Article 10, paragraph two, and Article 12, paragraph two,
to be taken by a respondent fall to the defendant.
If an action is brought which is not connected with criminal
proceedings but concerns confiscation of printed matter or a
private claim for damages, the provisions of Articles 2 and 10
to 13 apply concerning court proceedings in the case; if,
however, the question of whether an offence has been
committed has already been examined in a freedom of the press
case concerning liability under penal law, the same question
shall not be re-examined. In an application case, the exclusion
of jurors, which otherwise falls to the parties in the case, is
made by the court by lot.
Art. 15. More detailed provisions regarding court proceedings
in freedom of the press cases are laid down in law.
Where there are several district courts in one county
administrative district which are competent to hear freedom of
the press cases, the duties specified in Articles 4, 6, 8 and 9
shall be carried out by the district court designated by the
Government.
Art. 16. For cases in which the country is at war or exposed to
the danger of war, or such exceptional conditions prevail as
result from the war or danger of war to which the country has
been exposed, provisions may be laid down in an act of law or
in an ordinance adopted by the Government, with authority in
law, concerning the postponement of elections of jurors or
exceptions to the right of a juror to resign his or her
appointment.
Chapter 13. On matter printed abroad etc.
Art. 1. The provisions of Chapters 1, 3, 6 and 7; Chapter 8,
Articles 1, 2, 5 to 7, and 10 to 12; and Chapters 9 to 12, apply
