    Viel Nachfrage, wenig Angebot - besteht eine Lieferpflicht in krisenbedingten Mangellagen?
    2022-10-20

    Die fundamentalen Spannungen, die der Ukraine-Krieg in den Energiemärkten verursacht, hinterlassen bereits jetzt tiefe Spuren bei Industrie und Privathaushalten. Vor allem bei besonders energieintensiven Industrien und Betrieben zeichnen sich bereits erste Produktionsdrosselungen, Produktionsstopps und sogar Insolvenzen ab. So haben jüngst Hersteller von energieintensiven Produkten wie Dünger, Kohlensäure und AdBlue die Produktion gedrosselt oder gleich ganz eingestellt. Mit Görtz und Hakle mussten zudem bereits zwei Unternehmen wegen steigender Energiekosten Insolvenz anmelden.

    Treatment of reimbursement claims due to flight cancellations in German insolvency proceedings
    2022-08-05

    According to a ruling by the German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) on 5 May 2022, a passenger's claim for reimbursement due to a flight cancellation in insolvency needs to be established in the schedule of creditors, otherwise it remains a claim for air transport that cannot be enforced in insolvency proceedings if the flight was booked and paid for before the insolvency proceedings.

    So tell me, what do you think about the minimum wage?
    2022-08-03

    The Insolvency Law Senate of the Federal Labour Court (Bundesarbeitsgericht, BAG) was again asked to provide a clear answer to this pivotal question on 25 May 2022 (Case No. 6 AZR 497/21). The case concerned an action for annulment taken by the insolvency administrator against a payment received by an employee from their insolvent employer. The insolvency administrator was tasked with administering and disposing of the assets of the insolvent employer.
