    New Court Ruling on the Scope of D&O Insurance Coverage Calls Directors and Officers to Action
    2018-07-30

    On 20 July 2018, the Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf ruled that standard D&O insurances do not cover restitution claims for payments which managing directors of a limited liability company make after the company becomes insolvent. Whereas it is possible to obtain coverage for restitution claims, many older policies do not provide for this. Directors are well advised to check the scope of their insurance coverage.

    Keine Deckung der D&O-Versicherung für Schäden aus Insolvenzverschleppung
    2018-09-07

    Das Oberlandesgericht Düsseldorf hat in einer Grundsatzentscheidung klargestellt, dass sich ein Geschäftsführer im Falle von Rückforderungsansprüchen eines Insolvenzverwalters gemäß § 64 GmbH-Gesetz nicht auf seinen D&O-Versicherungsschutz berufen kann (Az. I-4 U 93/16).

    Hintergrund war der alltägliche Fall, dass ein Geschäftsführer Zahlungen geleistet hat, obwohl das Unternehmen bereits insolvenzreif war. § 64 GmbH-Gesetz regelt, dass ein Geschäftsführer persönlich für Zahlungen, die die Gesellschaft trotz Zahlungsunfähigkeit oder Überschuldung geleistet hat, einstehen muss.

    Germany confirms there will be no reliance on insurance for damage resulting from a delay in insolvency filing
    2018-10-05

    In a recent landmark cross border decision the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court clarified that general managers cannot rely on their Directors and Officers Liability Insurance cover (D&O) in the event of a claim for repayment under Germany's "wrongful trading" legislation. 

    Providing cover for the directors and officers of a company or the company itself, D&O insurance provides reimbursement in the event the insured suffers loss as a result of legal action brought for alleged wrongful acts of the directors and officers.
