German term or phrase: Diskontueberleitungsgesetz
From the small print of a leasing agreement:
... kann Verzugszinsen in Hoehe von 5% pa ueber den jeweils gueltigen Basiszinssatz des Diskontueberleitungsgesetz geltend machen.

The strange thing is, I can find no reference to any such law. Could this be a historical document refering to some law that no longer exists? I doubt it - can anybody shed any light on this matter?

Discount Rate Transition Act


Explanation:
Yes, it is standard language in such contracts now, but "Überleitung" refers to the transition from the Bundesbank-set discount rate to substitute method for determining a new reference rate - made necessary by the shift of control over monetary policy to the Eur. Central Bank.
