    Germany: Insolvency administrators' versus directors’ liability
    2020-08-17

    The German Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof) recently decided that an insolvency administrator must not rely on the business judgment rule laid down in section 93(1) of the German Companies Act. Section 93(1) provides that a director is not liable to the company if the director reasonably believes that he is well-informed and is acting in the best interests of the company.

    Die Grenzen tariflicher Regelungsmacht
    2020-07-23

    Die Geltung von Tarifverträgen kann nicht davon abhängig gemacht werden, dass die Arbeitsvertragsparteien mit einer Bezugnahmeklausel auf die Tarifverträge verweisen.

    Das BAG hat entschieden, dass die Tarifvertragsparteien in Tarifverträgen nicht vereinbaren können, dass trotz beiderseitiger Tarifgebundenheit von Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeber die Ansprüche aus einem Tarifvertrag nur dann bestehen sollen, wenn die Arbeitsvertragsparteien den Tarifvertrag durch eine Bezugnahmeklausel individualvertraglich nachvollziehen.

    COVID-19 in Germany: Insolvency forecast
    2020-07-20

    The economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has hit all industries in Germany. To mitigate the negative impacts of the pandemic, the government has implemented loan programs and introduced various emergency measures via the COVID-19 Insolvency Suspension Act (COVInsAG), such as temporarily suspending the obligation to file for insolvency and limiting the personal liabilities of the managing directors. As a result, the number of insolvency proceedings in Germany is decreasing significantly.
