Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the compensation office's damage claim against the respondent was time-barred when the damage notice was issued on 2005-05-18.
Decisione estratta
The claim was already time-barred under the former one-year period because the office had sufficient damage knowledge at the latest by the creditors' meeting on 2001-06-19.
Motivazione estratta
The office knew the essential facts, including the likely dividend and the insufficiency of assets, at the creditors' meeting and from the trustee's report; effective knowledge can arise before the usual bankruptcy documentation stage when the damage is already ascertainable.
