关于《关于伦沃伊的德国国际私法法》第4(1)条第1款，当将一个案件提交另一个国家的法律时，将在此适用该国的国际私法。但是，该国对国际私法的这种适用限于其适用性质，在这种性质不与提交的原始性质或意义相抵触的情况下。如果另一个国家的法律引用德国法律，则此处将适用德国的实质性条款。在承认伦沃伊的范围内，第(4)条第2款规定，当当事各方可以为伦沃伊选择一个国家的法律时，这种选择必须与实质性条款有关。如第(4)条第3款所述，向具有若干法律制度的国家提出建议，则国家法律将决定所适用的部分法律制度，如果不这样做，则将适用与当前问题最密切相关的法律制度。
因此，德国作为一个大陆法系国家，对实体法具有重要意义。大陆法系比英美法系在其他盎格鲁-撒克逊传统国家更为普遍。实体法不同于程序法。在诉讼法中，法院将听取辩论双方的任何一方，然后决定案件的正当司法程序。另一方面，在实体法的情况下，为了做出判决，将使用程序法中的程序对债权和抗辩进行有效性检验。现在，在重新引用renvoi的情况下，它所涉及的国家的国际私法可能无法满足该引用的含义，那么德国的实质性条款将开始适用。当renvoi不仅考虑国外关于该主题的法律，而且考虑国外的冲突法时，这种反向参照是可能的。

As for Art. 4(1)1 of the German Private International Law Act on Renvoi reads, when a referral is made for a case to another country law, then the private international law of that country will be applied here. However, this application of the private international law of the country is limited to that nature of application where it does not become incompatible with the original nature or the meaning of the referral. Where the law of the other country refers back to German law then the German substantive provisions will be applied here. In the context of admission of Renvoi Article (4)2 states that when parties can choose laws of a country for renvoi then the choice must be related to the substantive provisions. Where the referral is made to country with several legal systems as Article (4)3 states then country law will determine the partial legal system to be applied and failing this the one closest in context to the issue at hand will be applied.
Germany as a civil law country hence gives a significant importance to substantive law. Civil law system is more commonly applied here than the common law systems as observed in other countries of Anglo Saxon traditions. This form of substantive law differs from procedural law. In procedural law, the court will hear either end of the arguments and then will determine the due process of justice in the cases. On the other hand in the case of substantive laws, the claims and defense will be tested for validity using procedures in the procedural law in order to come to a decision. Now in the case of a renvoi being back referenced, where the private international law of the country to which it was referred to might not be able to meet the meaning of the referral then the substantive provisions of Germany will come to be applied. This back referencing is possible when the renvoi not only consider for the foreign country’s laws on the subject but also considers the laws of conflict of the foreign country.
