Nevertheless, the author cannot accept any liability for damages that may arise from the use of the information provided – even if this is due to the use of incomplete or incorrect information. Liability for the content of linked pages is excluded, especially as the author has no influence on the content of linked pages. The provider of these external websites is therefore solely liable for the content of pages linked to from this homepage – but never the person who refers to external publications and content via a link. If linked pages contain illegal, erroneous, incomplete, offensive or immoral information (in particular due to changes to the content after the link has been set) and if the author of this site is made aware of such content on linked pages, he will immediately prevent a link to such pages.

Dispute resolution

The Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSGB) came into force on April 1, 2016.
https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/vsbg/

The general arbitration board for consumers “Zentrum für Schlichtung e. V.” in Kehl has started its work and can be reached at www.verbraucher-schlichter.de.

We are not obliged or willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a general consumer arbitration board.

In principle, however, we are prepared to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before the arbitration board of the legal profession or the Chamber of Tax Consultants.

The arbitration board of the legal profession, which was established in 2009, has been a recognized consumer arbitration board since the VSBG came into force. The arbitration is based on the provisions of the Federal Lawyers’ Act (BRAO) and the statutes of the arbitration board of the legal profession.

In the event of disputes between tax consultants and their clients, the Chamber of Tax Consultants will mediate upon request (Section 76 (2) No. 3 of the Tax Consultancy Act – StBerG). The Chamber of Tax Consultants is obliged to attempt mediation if both parties submit a request or agree to mediation. The conduct of the mediation procedure before the Chamber of Tax Consultants is governed by the statutes and rules of procedure of the Chamber of Tax Consultants.

Responsible in this respect are:

For property law disputes arising from a client relationship between a consumer and a lawyer:

Arbitration Board of the Bar
Rauchstraße 26
10787 Berlin
www.s-d-r.org or www.schlichtungsstelle-der-rechtsanwaltschaft.de
