Wild Damage Compensation Proceedings

1. The right to compensation for damage caused by game expires if the beneficiary does not report the damage to the Konz municipal administration, Am Markt 11, 54329 Konz, within one week after he or she became aware of the damage or could have become aware of it.

At the latest within one week after reporting the damage caused by game or hunting, the injured party must inform the municipal administration if an amicable settlement between him and the party liable for compensation was not possible, as well as information on the amount of the damage (§ 45 Para. 1 LJVO). The notification, including information on the amount of damage, must be in writing (fax, email) (information on the amount of damage also applies to any follow-up reports).
