Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a single-signature GmbH manager may appeal the bankruptcy opening in her own capacity as corporate organ
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Where the validity of the management resolution behind the overindebtedness notice is disputed, the manager has a personal interest and may challenge the bankruptcy opening as an organ of the GmbH.
Extrahierte Begründung
The appeal against bankruptcy under Art. 174 in conjunction with Art. 194 SchKG can be brought by the manager when the notice may rest on an allegedly invalid managerial resolution. In that situation, the manager is directly affected and a dispute exists between the company and the manager; limiting standing to the company itself would be incompatible with the appeal rules.
