Die Legalitätspflicht des Vorstands einer kapitalmarktorientierten Aktiengesellschaft

A managing director’s duty to act lawfully has—despite seeming ostensibly obvious—increasingly received legal research literature’s attention in recent years. This is shown by the various issues controversially discussed to date in connection with the duty to act lawfully and compliance, including its dogmatic foundations, the relationship between legality and the business judgement rule, efficient breaches of public law and contracts, the calculation of damages, the collision of duties as well as approaches to limiting liability. This book discusses the fundamentals and classification of the duty to act lawfully based on the example of a capital market-oriented corporation and examines the controversial issues developed from the aforementioned classification.
