In a decision dated February 23, 2016, the Supreme Court for the first time abandoned the requirement of personal identity between the managing director, the general partner’s partner or the limited partners with regard to liability for negligent actions by the managing director of a general partner GmbH towards the GmbH & Co KG. In this decision, the OGH also commented on other important corporate law issues.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court has in a recent decision\u00a0for the first time<\/strong>\u00a0pronounced that one\u00a0Liability<\/strong>\u00a0for acting in breach of due care\u00a0Managing director of a general partner GmbH versus GmbH & Co KG<\/strong>\u00a0exists even if\u00a0no personal identity<\/strong>\u00a0between the managing director, the general partner or the limited partners.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First time<\/strong>\u00a0There was also an analogous application of the five-year limitation period instead of the three-year limitation period\u00a0Claims of the GmbH & Co KG against the managing director of the GmbH as a general partner<\/strong>\u00a0if the return of deposits is prohibited, the answer is yes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this decision, the Supreme Court also dealt with the effects of the consent or instructions of all shareholders on the managing director’s liability towards the company as well as the analogous application of the GmbH’s capital maintenance regulations to the GmbH & Co KG.<\/p>\n
