    Krise in der Immobilienbranche - Welche Sanierungsoptionen bestehen für betroffene Unternehmen?
    2023-09-08

    Die Immobilienbranche steht aktuell vor großen Herausforderungen: Explodierende Baustoffpreise, hohe Inflation, etc. vergrößern die wirtschaftlichen Risiken.

    Die Immobilienbranche gilt als eine der akuten Krisenbranchen in Deutschland. Die Corona-Pandemie, der Ukraine-Krieg, die Inflation und die Zinswende haben zu einem Einbruch der Bauaufträge, der Flächennachfrage und der Immobilienpreise geführt. Die Baukosten sind enorm gestiegen, während die Investoren* zurückhaltender geworden sind.

    Requirement to substantiate German debtor's illiquidity remains high
    2023-09-06

    Where a creditor believes that a debtor is insolvent, any “third-party application” that it makes for the insolvency of the debtor must be well substantiated.

    Decision

    The District Court of Hamburg recently considered an application for insolvency on grounds of illiquidity due to default in social security contributions.

    A landmark decision of the German Federal Court (13 June 2006 – IX ZB 238/05) held that the illiquidity of a company could be assumed where it was in default for more than six months of social security contributions.
