Hairdresser salon from Franconia: repayment of 9,000 euros in immediate aid required!

Mittelfranken, Deutschland - A blow for many entrepreneurs: A hairdresser from Franconia who applied for state institution in the amount of 9,000 euros during the Corona crisis is now faced with a recovery. This measure is based on a current judgment of the Bavarian Administrative Court (VGH), which says that personnel costs were not allowed to incorporate the calculation of the immediate aid. The VGH decided that the help was only intended for existential problems during pandemic, which could have far -reaching consequences for numerous companies. According to pnp.de there could be numerous further reclaims. 

The problem is a multi -layered. The hairdressing salon in Middle Franconia was an application for immediate help, which it received slightly due to panda -related liquidity bottlenecks. Nevertheless, the district government pointed out that the hairdresser had no real liquidity bottleneck and demanded the money back. This was confirmed by the courts after the entrepreneur was subject to the recovery against the recovery before the administrative court in Ansbach.

legal situation and reclaims

In 2020, a total of 260,000 companies in Bavaria received Corona's FOROR Aid of around 2.2 billion euros. The claims that continue to occur in the first quarter of 2025 were often assessed as illegal. The Stenz & Rogoz law firm explains that reclaims should be forfeited five years after the approval. In addition, it was criticized that many recovery notices do not match the original approval notices, which is due to unclear formulations and a lack of specific legal basis. This is classified by the courts, including the Administrative Court of Stuttgart, as a misuse of the right, which makes the entrepreneurs' trust in the non-repayment of the aid appear to be worth protecting, reports Anwalt.de .

Some courts have already decided that the recovery notices are often inadmissible if it cannot be proven to be a clear purpose. The Administrative Court of Freiburg specified in several sample procedures that reclaims are only legitimate if the funds were intentionally misused. A similar view was represented in North Rhine-Westphalia, which enacted several entrepreneurs. These judgments strengthen the position of those affected in the current procedures, and the law firm already represents several hundred entrepreneurs who act against recovery notices.

perspectives for those affected

It remains to be seen how the situation will develop, but legal support for those affected is now more urgent than ever to defend themselves against unauthorized claims.
