Drittschutz in der fehlerhaften Anlagegesellschaft

Are there limits under corporate law to the protection of investors? This practical issue becomes explosive for consumers as shareholders of an investment trust especially if the single consumer has been misleaded and wants to leave the trust - possibly at the expense of his co-shareholders or members. In this situation, the interests of the remaining members, the corporation and creditors on the one hand and the comprehensible interest of the leaving member on the other hand come into conflict. Despite of numerous judgments, there is no consistent answer to the question above. Until now, the solution depends apparently from the legal form of the investment trust. The book deals with this unsatisfactory result and explores the limits under corporate law to the protection of investors and the reach of consumer protection. The book demonstrates a solution for all legal forms of investment trusts balancing the conflicting interests.
