Binnenregress für Verbandsgeldbußen im Kapitalgesellschaftsrecht

Can corporations recover fines imposed on them by way of directors' and officers' liability? Can German law resort to the approaches of foreign legal systems in answering this question? This dissertation offers an in-depth legal comparison on the question with Austria, the United Kingdom and the USA. Not only the specific approaches to the question, but also similarities and differences of directors’ and officers’ liability and corporate sanctions in the respective legal systems are examined. Finally, the author examines whether the solution approaches of the examined foreign legal systems can be transferred to German law and develops a proposal for a legal regulation of the question.
