German Regional Court Dismisses Kirch Claim Vs Deutsche Bank
March 31 2009 - 8:37AM
Dow Jones News
A German regional court in Munich Tuesday dismissed a damages
claim by Kirch Group Litigation Pool GmbH against Deutsche Bank AG
(DB) and its then-Chief Executive Rolf Breuer, on formal
grounds.
Kirch Group Litigation Pool, which represents 17 of German media
mogul Leo Kirch's former companies, claimed damages of more than
EUR2 billion after Kirch's former media empire collapsed in
2002.
Deutsche Bank's then-CEO Breuer had held a television interview
in which he cast doubts about the financial well-being of the Kirch
group. Kirch had argued the interview led to the eventual collapse
of the businesses.
The Kirch Group Litigation Pool can still appeal the ruling.
