Betriebsratscompliance

The study provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the role of the works council in the context of corporate compliance. Drawing on case law and academic literature, it examines the extent to which the works council can help shape compliance within the company and where the limits of its representation of interests lie. It focuses on the works council’s participation rights, structural conflicts of interest, the distinction between permissible representation of interests and abuse of rights, and the consequences of exceeding its authority. The study combines issues related to employment law and compliance and contributes to the development of corporate compliance structures that are both legally sound and practical.
