The Supreme Court for Civil Matters recently stated his case law on the liability of managing directors of a GmbH more precisely: The managing director of a GmbH shall only be liable where the law specifically stipulates such liability and if he personally acted culpably and unlawfully. This restriction of liability shall also apply to damages caused by oral agreements and by acts or omissions of assisting persons. For such cases the GmbH itself is liable for the caused damage.
