- The minor is automatically strafrechtlich liable for Betrug

When does a natural person generally become voll geschäftsfähig?
- At age 16
- Upon completing the 18th year of life (Volljährigkeit) Correct answer.

- Whether a person can register a Firma
- Whether a person can be tortiously liable for damages under §§ 823 ff. BGB rules on accountability Correct answer.

Which are Rechtssubjekte in the BGB system taught in Rahmenplan Einführung in das Bürgerliche Recht?
- Only movable Sachen
- Natural persons, certain rechtsfähige Personengesellschaften, and juristische Personen Correct answer.

Question 9Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Rechtslehre: civil, commercial and applied legal reasoning
In BGB methods taught for Rechtslehre, the simplified claim check often remembered as the four “W” asks:
- Wann, Warum, Wieviel, Weshalb

Explanation
Rahmenplan emphasises the Generalformel Wer will was von wem woraus as a structured approach to Anspruchsprüfung.
Question 10Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Rechtslehre: civil, commercial and applied legal reasoning
A Willenserklärung that is merely legally advantageous to a beschränkt geschäftsfähigen minor generally:
- Always requires prior Zustimmung of the gesetzliche Vertreter
- Can be effected without Zustimmung under § 107 BGB logic (kein rechtlicher Nachteil) Correct answer.
- Is void because all minor declarations are void
- Converts the minor into a Kaufmann
Explanation
§ 107 BGB: the minor needs Zustimmung for Willenserklärungen that are not merely legally advantageous. Purely advantageous acts (classic: accepting a gift without burdens) do not require consent.
Question 11Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Rechtslehre: civil, commercial and applied legal reasoning
Anfechtung of a Willenserklärung (e.g. for Irrtum) primarily aims to:
- Create a new Kaufvertrag automatically
- Destroy the effect of a previously effective declaration with ex tunc consequences under Anfechtungsregeln Correct answer.
- Register the party in the Handelsregister
- Convert Zivilrecht into Strafrecht
Explanation
Anfechtung (where available) voids the legal effect of a Willenserklärung under §§ 119 ff. BGB with the statutory temporal effects; it is a core Allgemeiner Teil tool also presupposed for special Schuldverhältnisse.
Question 12Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Rechtslehre: civil, commercial and applied legal reasoning
Nichtigkeit of a Rechtsgeschäft means:
- It is fully effective until a court later cancels it years later without statutory basis
- It does not bring about the intended legal consequences from the outset (ex tunc voidness in the usual sense) Correct answer.
- It is always identical to Anfechtung
- It only applies in Arbeitsrecht

Question 14Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Rechtslehre: civil, commercial and applied legal reasoning

- A form of Eigentumserwerb by Ersitzung
- A criminal Nebenstrafe
Explanation
Rahmenplan highlights Bürgschaft as einseitig verpflichtendes Rechtsgeschäft; §§ 765 ff. BGB: Bürge undertakes to the Gläubiger to be responsible for the Hauptschuldner’s obligation. Written form for declaration of Bürgschaft is generally required (§ 766 BGB), with Kaufmann exceptions.
Question 17Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Rechtslehre: civil, commercial and applied legal reasoning
Lieferverzug of the seller in a Kaufvertrag scenario most directly concerns:

- Performance of services (Dienste) as such against Vergütung - distinct from Werkvertrag Erfolgshaftung Correct answer.

- It is identical to a Verein
- It cannot be entered in any register

Vorabhinweise explicitly list Mischformen (GmbH & Co. KG). The GmbH usually is the personally liable partner, limiting human owners’ direct personal exposure.
Question 34Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Rechtslehre: civil, commercial and applied legal reasoning

- Handlungsvollmacht always allows Grundstück sales without limit
- Only Prokura can ever bind a merchant
Explanation
Rahmenplan lists both Prokurist and Handlungsbevollmächtigter. Prokura is the specially regulated, typically registered commercial agency; Handlungsvollmacht is narrower ordinary commercial authority.

Question 45Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Rechtslehre: civil, commercial and applied legal reasoning
Ordentliche Kündigung vs außerordentliche Kündigung - which is accurate?
- Both are identical and never need justification discussion
- Ordentliche Kündigung observes statutory/contractual notice periods; außerordentliche (often fristlos) requires an important reason under § 626 BGB framework Correct answer.
- Außerordentliche Kündigung is only available to employees under 18
- Ordentliche Kündigung is always criminal
Explanation
Rahmenplan 4.4.1: ordentliche und außerordentliche Kündigung. § 626 BGB is the classic important-reason track for extraordinary termination.

- Oral only, via WhatsApp voice note
- In writing (Schriftform) to be effective Correct answer.
- Published in the Handelsregister
- Approved by the Amtsgericht in advance in every case
Explanation

Allgemeiner Kündigungsschutz under the KSchG typically requires, among other conditions, that:

- Only Beamte are covered
- Only GmbH Geschäftsführer are covered as employees always
Explanation
Rahmenplan flags gesetzliche Grundlagen des Kündigungsschutzes. Standard school presentation: KSchG applicability with employee-count threshold and six-month Wartezeit; social justification grounds then matter.
Question 48Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Rechtslehre: civil, commercial and applied legal reasoning
An Aufhebungsvertrag is:
- A unilateral ordentliche Kündigung by the employer only
- A mutual agreement ending the Arbeitsverhältnis (requires Schriftform under § 623 BGB) Correct answer.
- A Tarifvertrag for an entire industry
- A criminal confession
Explanation
Rahmenplan lists Aufhebungsvertrag alongside Kündigung types as a Beendigung path - consensual termination in writing.
Question 49Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Rechtslehre: civil, commercial and applied legal reasoning
If a Betriebsrat exists, failure to hear it before a Kündigung can:
- Never matter legally
- Render the Kündigung ineffective under BetrVG Anhörungsregeln Correct answer.
- Automatically create a GmbH
- Convert the employee into a Kaufmann
Explanation
Classic labour-law teaching: ordnungsgemäße Betriebsratsanhörung is a Wirksamkeitsvoraussetzung for employer Kündigung when a Betriebsrat exists.
Question 50Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Rechtslehre: civil, commercial and applied legal reasoning
An Arbeitszeugnis duty typically means:
- The employer may never issue any document
- On ending employment, the employee can claim a Zeugnis; content/form rules protect truthful, benevolent evaluation standards in case law/teaching Correct answer.
- Only the employee writes a Zeugnis about the employer with legal force as Kündigung
- Zeugnisse replace Tarifverträge
Explanation
Rahmenplan lists Arbeitszeugnis among Individualarbeitsrecht topics; § 109 GewO is the classic statutory anchor for Zeugnis claims.
