Philipp Florian Irmscher examines how the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz - KWG) handles the instrument of "naming and shaming", which involves publicly disclosing the illegal behaviour of a person or company. The author concludes that the KWG's use of "naming and shaming" is in part a new form of sanction. Furthermore, the author analyses the strategy's constitutionality, on both a European and national level, as well as its potential.
