OW Bunker konkursbo stævner egen kurator

OW Bunkers konkursbo kræver nu en erstatning på 79 millioner dollar - svarende til 523 millioner kroner - af dets egen kurator, advokat John Sommer Schmidt. Konkursboet har stævnet Sommer Schmidt og advokatfirmaet Gorrissen Federspiel, som han er partner i. Det skriver Finans

Årsagen til erstatningskravet er, at John Sommer Schmidt missede en tidsfrist der betød, at konkursboet ikke kunne rejse krav mod den britiske investeringsbank Jefferies.

Gorrissen Federspiel bekræfter at de har modtaget stævningen, men afviser at have begået ansvarspådragende fejl i sagen.

”Vi og vores rådgivere bestrider fortsat, at der er begået ansvarspådragende fejl af kurator John Sommer Schmidt. Vi har anmeldt kravet til vores forsikringsselskab, og sagen vil nu blive prøvet ved domstolene”, skriver Martin André Dittmer, managing partner i Gorrissen Federspiel, i en e-mail til Finans.

Erstatningssagen får ikke umiddelbart konsekvenser for den fortsatte bobehandling. Det vurderer professor i insolvensret på Aarhus Universitet Kim Sommer Jensen.

”Det er jo en sag, der er fuldstændigt isoleret fra bobehandlingen. Det gør ikke nogen uegnet som kurator, at man overser en frist”, siger Kim Sommer Jensen til Finans.

OW Bunker gik konkurs i 2014.
