From an official Swiss reply to a USA Justice Department request for assistance in a criminal investigation:
dass bei Rechtshilfeersuchen denen Ermittlungen wegen Zuwiderhandlungen gegen die Vorschriften über die Straftatbestände des Art. 42 des Bundesgesetzes betreffend die Lottereien und die gewerbsmässige Glückspiele zu grunde liegen, das Vorliegen der *beiseitigen* Strafbarkeit nicht zu prüfen ist (Art.4 Ziff 2 *lit.b* RVUS);

Art.4 No. 1 b
Always done it this way;
I'm not convinced that there is an actual term for lit., though if it were to occur mid-text, I would refer to it as Para. here (depends on context; you might get Art. 1 Sec. 1 Subsec. 1 Para. 1 b, and then you have to be a little imaginative!)

Artikel 8 Z 1 lit b [Recht] [Österreich]
Quellen gemäss Artikel 8 Z 1 lit b CMR
Kommentar Could somebody please confirm what the abbreviations 'Z' (Ziffer?) and 'lit' stand for and how to translate into English.
Quellen wikipedia =)
Kommentar Z stands for "Ziffer" / Number
lit stands for "litera" (latin) / letter
Kommentar 'Z' means 'Ziffer', and 'lit' means 'letter'. Said article probably contains some list, like:
Art. 8. The provisions of blah apply to
(1) cases of foo involving
(a) buzz,
(b) blubb, and
(c) blurp, as well as
(2) cases of bar including but not limited to
(a) spam, and
(b) eggs.
Dunno how this is written in English legalese.
