Omnilex summary

The plaintiffs challenged the rejection of a proposed resolution concerning whether the condominium community should pursue damages claims against former advisory board members. The Bonn District Court held that rejecting the proposal was consistent with proper administration because the underlying claims had no prospect of success. It dismissed the action and ordered the plaintiffs to bear the litigation costs jointly and severally. The judgment was declared provisionally enforceable, subject to the stated security arrangement.
