Austria: Former bank customers suing republic
Article Abstract:
70 former customers of the Austrian Riegerbank are suing the republic on the grounds of its neglect in supervision. The lawsuit comes three years after Riegerbank's bankruptcy and concerns EUR 14.9mn not repaid to customers. According to the lawyer involved, cause for action existed years ago, when insolvency might have been avoidable. The same lawyer has successfully argued the republic's liability towards 300 customers of the BHI Bank for the bank inspector's failure.
