Conciliation proceedings initiated against Federal President Wulff

An out-of-court conciliation procedure has been applied for against Federal President Wulff. Institutional investors are demanding compensation – the proceedings can only take place with the consent of the defendant.

Karlsruhe, January 9, 2012

CenaCom GmbH in Karlsruhe has confirmed that an application has been made to initiate out-of-court conciliation proceedings against Federal President Wulff. Previously, both the representatives of the applicants and Mr. Wulff’s lawyers had commented on the proceedings in the press. In these proceedings, institutional investors would like to reach an agreement with Mr. Wulff regarding claims for damages for which he is responsible as a member of the VW Supervisory Board.

“The Federal President has not yet commented on the conciliation application to CenaCom,” reports the responsible business mediator Prof. Schindler. However, the proceedings can only take place, he explains, if Christian Wulff as the defendant agrees to a hearing. “As a neutral conciliation office, we are not taking a position on the matter itself,” he explains in view of the lively media coverage of these proceedings in recent days.
