Der Organwalter kraft öffentlichen Amtes in GmbH und AG

'Ex Officio Directors in German Corporations. Appointment, Removal, Conduct, and Liability': The thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of the appointment, removal, conduct and liability of ex officio directors in the German GmbH and AG. It examines how corporate law mechanisms interact with public law requirements, particularly state laws, and proposes practical solutions for ex officio appointments. The study shows that the existing regime leads to false incentives and exacerbates the principal agent conflict between public and private stakeholders.
