Das Prozeßrecht gesellschaftsinterner Streitigkeiten

In civil associations there are complex legal relations between the association and its members as well as between the individual members. If there is a dispute involving these legal relations, such as for example about the payment of membership fees or expulsion from the association, the dispute will have to be settled in court in a two-party lawsuit. In addition to the association members involved, there is often a third group of members who do not wish to be a part of the legal dispute or are opposed to any legal proceedings concerning the issue under dispute. Against this backdrop and using trading companies as an example, Martin Schwab has developed models for allocating the roles to the various parties in internal disputes within the association, models which do justice to the existing requirements.
