[Basic questions on andrological appraisals in a court of law. Procreative ability in the past].
In a court of law the andrological appraisal towards the assessment of the procreative ability of a man is concerned with the degree of procreative ability during the legal time of conception (181st to 302nd day prior to the date of birth including both of these days BGB Section 1592). The andrological expert is a servant of the court, not a judge. Each finding deviating from the norm must be controlled at least twice. Preliminary diagnoses must be fully considered. In the case of oligozoospermia manifested at the present point in time, whereby anamnestic data regarding any past sicknesses are lacking, it must be assumed that during the legal time of conception a condition similar to that now detected also existed. This means that the present finding was already in a state of effect in the past.
