Key legal question
Whether the auditor breached its duties by not warning the competent corporate bodies about the suspicious set-offs made against a postposed shareholder claim.
Extracted holding
Yes, the set-offs were suspicious and should have triggered a written warning under the auditor's statutory duties.
Extracted reasoning
A postposed creditor cannot use the claim for set-off while overindebtedness lasts; the transactions depleted realizable assets and benefited only one creditor, so the auditor had to alert the statutory bodies.
