German court denies the extension of arbitration clauses to third parties

In a decision rendered on 31 March 2022, the Higher Regional Court of Koblenz denied the recognition and enforcement of the award rendered by the ad-hoc tribunal in the notorious Hartmann v. Eckes-Granini saga, which is also subject to proceedings in various other European jurisdictions. The Court held that there is no room for the group of companies doctrine under German law. Nils Schmidt-Ahrendts and Viktoria Schneider comment on why the decision may face a critical review by the German Federal Court of Justice.
