The scope of the German law of emergency representation by spouses ("Ehegattenvertretungsrecht"), which has been in effect since 1 January 2023, is currently being described as uncertain, fuzzy and insufficiently defined in many aspects. Treating physicians are confronted with a long legal text characterized by references to other norms and in need of interpretation. The law itself is not limited to representation in emergency measures sensu stricto, although the right of representation should only be based on treatment that is "necessary from a medical point of view and cannot be postponed". Pending established case law, this article attempts to present guidelines for the practical application of the law of emergency representation by spouses. Special aspects such as medical liability, the central register of lasting powers of attorney and the inclusion of the represented spouse in studies are discussed.
自2023年1月1日起生效的德国配偶紧急代理权法（“配偶代理法”）的范围，目前在许多方面被描述为不确定、模糊且定义不充分。主治医生面临着一篇冗长的法律文本，该文本引用了其他规范且需要解释。该法律本身并不局限于狭义的紧急措施中的代理，尽管代理权仅应基于“从医学角度来看是必要的且不能推迟的”治疗。在既定判例法出台之前，本文试图提出配偶紧急代理权法实际应用的指导方针。还讨论了医疗责任、持久授权书中央登记册以及被代理配偶纳入研究等特殊方面。
