Key legal question
Whether the directors breached their duties by failing to submit accounts and act upon overindebtedness
Extracted holding
Yes. The court upheld that the directors culpably failed to prepare and submit the accounts and did not take the measures required once overindebtedness was known.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal findings showed no proper accounts for later periods and that, by 6 May 1988 at the latest, the directors knew of overindebtedness yet took no action required by company law.
