Structured fields are extracted automatically. A dash means the value could not be reliably extracted; the original notice below is always complete. Sanctioning statute is the law the measure is based on; Substantive law is the law whose obligations were breached — often the same, but they differ when the sanction rests on a general provision (e.g. a fine under OWiG § 130 for failing to prevent a GwG breach).
