Judgment in Munich:No reimbursement for corona losses
The district court rejects the Reutberg monastery parlor’s action against insurance
–
The innkeepers of the Klosterbräustüberl in Reutberg do not get their financial losses reimbursed by their insurance company as a result of the first lockdown last year. A civil chamber at the Munich II regional court dismissed a corresponding action brought by Klosterbräustüberl Reutberg GmbH against Allianz-Versicherungs AG this Friday. According to the court, there was no insurance cover for corona-related loss of sales. The landlords had sued for an amount of 250,950 euros. The judgment of the Regional Court of Munich II is still final.
At the hearing at the beginning of this month, the presiding judge had already indicated that the landlords had little chance of success with their lawsuit and justified this, among other things, with a higher-level decision by a higher regional court. The representative of Allianz had made it clear in the hearing before the Munich II regional court that the insurance coverage of the Reutberger landlords did not apply to new diseases such as Covid 19. A comparison failed. The innkeepers’ attorney stated that his clients expected at least forty to fifty percent of the sum they were asking for in a settlement. A few weeks ago, the hosts of the Klosterschänke Dietramszell also sued the Munich II district court against their insurance because of their financial losses due to the first lockdown in March 2020. They had just as little success as their colleagues from Sachsenkam. In the meantime, a whole series of lawsuits by gastronomy companies against their insurance companies in connection with the corona pandemic are pending before the Munich II Regional Court. According to a court spokeswoman, the claims amount to just under 3.5 million euros.
