Justiz: Zoff in der Zunft: Insolvenzverwalter streiten über geplante Berufskammer
Justizministerin Hubig will Zulassung und Aufsicht von Insolvenzverwaltern neu ordnen. Der VID hält eine eigene Kammer für notwendig – andere Branchenvertreter warnen vor mehr Bürokratie.
In Germany, aspiring insolvency administrators must individually apply to 190 insolvency courts, each using its own application forms and requirements. The process is laborious, with Christoph Niering, chairman of the Verband Insolvenzverwalter und Sachwalter Deutschlands (VID), estimating that comparing the forms from five major courts reveals around 300 questions, with a complete response spanning up to 27 pages, including annexes. On top of this, ongoing updates would be required at each court individually, according to Niering.
Federal Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig (SPD) aims to introduce a unified licensing system, where future insolvency administrators would need to join a chamber, similar to lawyers or notaries. This would provide professional self-regulation under state supervision. Hubig has submitted a draft proposal detailing this plan. However, within the Insolvency Administrators' Union, there is resistance to the 194-page proposal. Some associations of professionals warn that the 194-page draft could lead to additional bureaucracy.
