Recent case law from the Supreme Court demonstrates once again that lenders can be held liable by creditors of an insolvent borrower under certain conditions.
In particular, a lender may be held liable where it has significant influence over the borrower´s management. However, only a few cases have met the necessary level of influence. The case discussed below shows that total disregard of this risk can have severe consequences for lenders.
