Art. 757 OR

Im Konkurs der geschädigten Gesellschaft sind auch die Gesellschaftsgläubiger berechtigt, Ersatz des Schadens an die Gesellschaft zu verlangen. Zunächst steht es jedoch der Konkursverwaltung zu, die Ansprüche von Aktionären und Gesellschaftsgläubigern geltend zu machen.

Verzichtet die Konkursverwaltung auf die Geltendmachung dieser Ansprüche, so ist hierzu jeder Aktionär oder Gläubiger berechtigt. Das Ergebnis wird vorab zur Deckung der Forderungen der klagenden Gläubiger gemäss den Bestimmungen des Schuldbetreibungs- und Konkursgesetzes vom 11. April 1889 verwendet. Am Überschuss nehmen die klagenden Aktionäre im Ausmass ihrer Beteiligung an der Gesellschaft teil; der Rest fällt in die Konkursmasse.

Vorbehalten bleibt die Abtretung von Ansprüchen der Gesellschaft gemäss Artikel 260 des Schuldbetreibungs- und Konkursgesetzes vom 11. April 1889.

In die Berechnung des Schadens der Gesellschaft sind Forderungen von Gesellschaftsgläubigern, die im Rang hinter alle anderen Gläubiger zurück getreten sind, nicht einzubeziehen.
