    Insolvenzrechtliche Einordnung eines Abfindungsanspruchs
    2019-04-23

    Ob ein Abfindungsanspruch eines Arbeitnehmers in der Insolvenz der Arbeitgeberin in voller Höhe ausgezahlt wird oder aber nur entsprechend einer erheblich niedrigeren Quote, hängt vom Zeitpunkt der Entstehung des Abfindungsanspruchs ab, wie eine neue Entscheidung des Bundesarbeitsgerichts einmal mehr darlegt.

    BAG, Urteil vom 14. März 2019 – 6 AZR 4/18

    Augen auf beim Abschluss von D&O-Versicherungen!
    2019-05-09

    Nach einem Urteil des OLG Düsseldorf vom 20. Juli 2018 (Az.: 4 U 93/16) soll sich der Deckungsschutz einer D&O-Versicherung nicht auf den Anspruch einer insolvent gewordenen Gesellschaft gegen ihren versicherten Vorstand oder Geschäftsführer auf Ersatz der nach Eintritt der Zahlungsunfähigkeit oder Überschuldung geleisteten Zahlungen erstrecken (§§ 92 Abs. 2 AktG, 64 GmbHG, 130a HGB). Die Rechtsprechung des OLG Düsseldorf gibt Anlass, bestehende D&O-Versicherungen einer Prüfung zu unterziehen bzw. nachzuverhandeln.

    New Insurance Risks for Directors & Officers in Germany
    2018-11-28

    The Situation: Claims brought by insolvency administrators under Section 64 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act are not only among the most common, but also the most financially significant, claims faced by the directors of distressed German companies.

    The Development: In a landmark decision, the Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf recently determined that claims brought under Section 64 of the GmbHG are not covered by insuring provisions found in many D&O insurance policies.

    Insolvency administrator's right to sell leased assets in Germany
    2018-11-06

    Background

    The German Insolvency Act says an insolvency administrator may sell a "moveable object" on which a right to separate satisfaction (Absonderungsrecht) exists if such object is in his possession. The right to separate satisfaction entitles creditors with such a right to be satisfied ahead of all other creditors from the proceeds of selling a separate pool of assets within the insolvent estate
