Handelsgerichte#

Commercial Courts, have jurisdiction over all issues concerning commercial law such as legal action against merchants arising from their commercial transactions. If the value in dispute is more than 100,000 ATS or if the issue lies within their competence (e.g. unfair competition), provincial courts have jurisdiction, all other cases lie within the competence of the district courts (section 51f. Jurisdiction Law). Only Vienna has both its own commercial court and a "District court for commercial cases".
