About this statute

This provision is a preamble setting out the structure of the 1879 Luxembourg Penal Code revision and the formal enactment statement. The provision classifies offences as crime, délit, or contravention depending on the kind of penalty imposed by law. An offence cannot be punished by penalties that were not in law before it was committed. An offence committed in the territory of the Grand Duchy is punishable under Luxembourg law, whether committed by Luxembourgers or foreigners. Offenses committed outside Luxembourg are punishable in Luxembourg only in the cases set by law.
