| """Liechtenstein Oberster Gerichtshof (OGH) via gerichtsentscheidungen.li. |
| |
| Endpoints discovered via the worldwidelaw/legal-sources project (AGPL-3.0). |
| We reimplement the scraping based on the public AJAX endpoints. |
| |
| Flow: |
| 1. POST /methods.aspx/getAkten {"s": "OGH.<year>"} → list of (case_number, listing_url). |
| 2. GET <listing_url> → results page with onclick="…default.aspx?z=…" per record. |
| 3. GET <detail_url> → metadata divs (hEIItem, aktenzeichen) and the decision text (`<div class='eintrag'>`). |
| |
| The OGH hears both civil and criminal appeals; the source has no civil/criminal |
| flag, so `civil_filter()` is a text heuristic (presence of civil-law markers |
| like ABGB / ZPO and absence of criminal markers like StGB / StPO). |
