Die Konzernhaftung der deutschen Muttergesellschaft für die Schulden ihrer U.S.-amerikanischen Tochtergesellschaft

Thomas Wazlawik compares the concepts of shareholder liability within the German GmbH and the American close corporation. He makes comparisons between both countries regarding the shareholder liability issue, paying special attention to parent-subsidiary relationships, and gives a critical analysis of liability laws in both legal systems. He also draws the reader's attention to some procedural and enforcement issues which are of special interest in the case of cross-border liability problems.
