Münchener Kommentar zum GmbH-Gesetz Released in Full
25.01.2012
The Münchener Kommentar zum GmbH-Gesetz, jointly edited by Prof. Dr. Holger Fleischer, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, and Prof. Dr. Wulf Goette, Federal Court of Justice, is now complete. Following the publication of Volume 1 (§§ 1 - 34, 2494 pages) and Volume 2 (§§ 53 - 85, 1272 pages) in 2010 and 2011, the work has now been completed with the release of Volume 3 (§§ 35 - 52, 1537 pages). As a commentary, the work is oriented on both the practical aspects, current jurisprudence and literature which have resulted following the most significant reform of the GmbH Act (the MoMiG of 2008) since its inception in 1892, as well as giving fresh consideration to debated or thus far ignored issues. As an academic treatise, the work also fills the role of performing a presentation and analysis of the closed corporation in its full scope and breadth.Of the many elements contained in the new volume, a comprehensive commentary on director liability (§ 43 GmbHG, 140 pages) has been authored by Holger Fleischer. Considering many current questions (eg compliance, bribery, M&A transactions, D&O insurance, business judgment rule, mistake, liability exemption), comparative analysis and a law and economics approach regularly serve as the basis for his assessments.
