Court judgment against Thomas-Lloyd: Investor receives compensation in Osnabrück

procedure before the district court of Osnabrück

In a sensational case, the district court of Osnabrück recently decided in favor of an investor from the Cleanetech Fonds CTI Vario, which was launched by the Thomas Lloyd group.

meaning of the information obligations

At the center of the procedure, the question arose whether the trustee fulfilled her information obligations.
