Dr. Carsten Wettich (Berner Fleck Wettich) deals in issue 15/2020 of the magazine “GWR” with the participation of the board member in his own authorization to carry out certain transactions. In its decision, the Bamberg Higher Regional Court commented on the question of whether the Executive Board member to be authorised can participate in the authorisation himself and, in the case of genuine joint representation, even has to participate in the two-member Executive Board. Dr. Carsten Wettich explains the consequences of the decision for practice.
