On March 23, 2020, the German Federal Cabinet launched a package of measures with amendments in various areas of law on the parliamentary path. For example, insolvency law is to be relaxed, a possibility to conduct meetings online created or and certain pay-ment obligations be deferred.
In addition to representing a very serious threat to health, the COVID 19 pandemic poses a particular threat to entrepreneurs and tradespeople as well as employers and employees or even landlords and tenants. High losses and considerable damage have been recorded or are to be feared. The German federal and state governments have already reacted with immediate tax measures and extensive support programs.
When dealing with the pandemic and its consequences, numerous legal questions arise, the answers to which are not always easy in view of the novelty of the facts and which also cause a certain amount of uncertainty among market participants. Answers to these questions, as well as further measures to mitigate the economic consequences for market participants, are contained in the draft of a law to mitigate the consequences of the COVID 19 pandemic in civil, insolvency and criminal pro-cedure law, which was presented by the Fed-eral Government as a formulation aid for the government factions in the Bundestag on 23.03.2020.
On March 25, 2020, the Bundestag is to discuss the draft bill, which will then be submitted by the government factions, and supposed to adopt it on the same day. The Bundesrat will discuss this in a special session on 27.03.2020.
