Haftung leitender Angestellter

An officer employed by contract who is responsible for exercising entrepreneurial functions has considerable scope for decision-making, which raises the question of liability. Anna Kuhn examines whether the employee privilege and the business judgement rule apply to officers and how these limitations of liability interact. Her study also analyses whether D&O insurance is required or should be taken out and how its existence - or lack thereof - may affect an officer's liability.
