    Consequences of the grand coalition for insolvency law
    2018-02-27

    In Germany, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Social Democratic Party (SPD) have agreed to a continuation of the grand coaltion, and a majority in favour of this appears to be forming at grassroots level in the SPD. It is therefore useful to take an initial look at the insolvency law provisions of the Coalition Agreement, given that the potential new government has made it clear that a key objective is unrestricted compliance with the principle of equal treatment of all creditors.

    In a recent judgment, the German Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof) took the opportunity to clarify its position on sec. 17(2) German Insolvency Act (Insolvenzordnung, InsO). According to sec. 17(2) InsO a debtor is deemed insolvent if he is unable to pay his debts as they fall due (Zahlungsunfähigkeit).

Die Gläubiger müssen innert eines Monats ihre Forderungen oder sonstigen Ansprüche gegen den Konkursiten der Konkursverwaltung eingeben. Anschliessend erstellt diese ein Forderungsverzeichnis.

    Hope for easier restructuring of SMEs: German Institute of Public Auditors propose new standard Restructuring Opinions
    2017-10-12

    German insolvency laws are very strict. The management of an insolvent company is under strict obligations to file for insolvency, and failure to comply with such obligation may result in civil and criminal liability. Other stakeholders, like financing banks or suppliers, who are dealing with a distressed company, require documentation that their contract partner can be restructured, in order to avoid potential liability and claw back risk in case of a future insolvency.

    German company directors: watch out
    2017-12-05

    German insolvency proceedings expose company directors to high risks of personal liability. Claims brought on the basis of sec. 92(2), 93(3) German Companies Act (Aktiengesetz, AktG) and sec. 64 German Limited Liability Companies Act can have disastrous financial consequences. Damages can be in the millions. Therefore many company directors purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurances (D&O insurance) to protect their personal assets.
