Summary
One of the main functions of the Group of Companies Law is to protect the legal and financial interests of a dependent company in its relations with the controlling enterprise. There is no general prohibition for a controlling enterprise to induce the dependent company to enter into a disadvantageous transaction. As a general principle, the controlling enterprise shall compensate the dependent company for losses arising from such disadvantageous transactions. If a group contract between the controlling enterprise and the dependent company exists, the legal representatives (board members) of the controlling company (enterprise) are jointly responsible for the losses of the dependent company. If a group contract has not been concluded (de facto group of companies), the controlling enterprise itself has to compensate for the losses of the dependent company. Besides the controlling enterprise, the legal representatives of this enterprise bear joint responsibility.
