On what legal basis can damages be claimed from EY?
Our lawsuit against EY is essentially based on the circumstance of missing balance confirmations and the issuance of a culpably false audit certificate for the consolidated financial statements of Wirecard AG. EY is therefore liable to investors for intentional immoral damage in accordance with Section 826 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and in accordance with the principles of the agreement with protective effects in favour of third parties in accordance with Section 311 (3) of the German Civil Code (BGB).
