Limitation of liability for AG bodies

In principle, it is possible to arrange for a limitation of the liability of an AG in the internal relationship. Such a limitation is, for example, the requirement of approval by shareholders, according to which particularly risky projects are to be supported and approved by the shareholders. This spreads the liability risk and relieves members of the management board plus members of the supervisory board.

Alternatively, agreements can be made regarding the limitation of claims. However, the protection of creditors must not be violated by law, which is why this form of limitation of liability does not offer comprehensive legal certainty. In all simplicity, however, it is also possible for shareholders to express a waiver of the liability of the supervisory board and management board in a shareholders’ resolution. However, such a resolution may not be adopted before the end of the third year after the liability claim has arisen.

Limitation of liability in the internal relationship of the AG:

• Shareholder approval
• Covenant
• Waiver of liability by resolution

Liability of the Management Board – breaches of the duty of care

As the management body, the management board takes over the operational business and enjoys a great deal of freedom with regard to the management of the company. This requires a high degree of trust on the part of the other executive bodies, which is why the management board is subject to a duty of care as a basis for liability: After all, it works with the shareholders’ deposits and not with its own finances! Accordingly, the management board is liable for breaches of the duty of care imposed on it and for criminal offences. In the event of liability claims, the management board is held liable by the supervisory board.

Liability of the Supervisory Board – Breaches of Principle & Principle of Confidence

The supervisory board is also subject to a duty of care – more precisely: the principle of careful and orderly management – and must act in accordance with the principle of trust vis-à-vis the management board. It is liable to the stock corporation and its shareholders for damages caused by financial losses, but also to third parties insofar as they are affected by a culpable act on the part of the supervisory board.

Liability of shareholders – individual liability & pass-through liability

Each shareholder is individually liable to the extent of the shares he holds. Creditors can therefore in principle not encumber his private assets should the value of his contributions be insufficient. The only exception to this rule is the so-called “pass-through liability”, in which the strict separation between business and private assets can be waived under certain circumstances. An assessment in this regard must be determined by the respective competent court.
