Judge Service Act (Richterdienstgesetz) — no substantive changes in this update
This is an editorial update to Austria's 1961 Judge Service Act. No changes to judges' rights, duties, salaries, or appointment rules.
What changed
This update refreshes the canonical text of the Judge Service Act (Richterdienstgesetz – RDG), the federal law governing the employment relationship of judges and judicial candidates in Austria. No substantive amendments to the law itself are recorded in this diff.
Who is affected
Judges, judicial candidates (Richteramtsanwärter), and court administration. No action is required; this is a routine maintenance of the official text.
What to look out for
If you are a judge or judicial candidate, consult the current consolidated text (Geltende Fassung) for the most up-to-date rules on service conditions, pay, promotion, and discipline. This update does not signal any change in those rules.
