Questão jurídica principal

Decisão extraída
The appellant remained liable as a managing director with sole signatory power who failed to adequately supervise payment and reporting duties.
Fundamentação extraída
A GmbH manager owes the same duty of care as corporate organs under Art. 717 OR, including monitoring contribution payments. The appellant did not show that he took sufficient steps to obtain information or supervise the finances, despite knowing of cash-flow problems. The asserted division of responsibilities and alleged withholding of records did not excuse him.
