Kasper, Damage Law Consequences of Mobbing, Zak 2015/484 (together with Boninsegna).

The decision of the Austrian High Court 9 ObA 131/11x1 is virtually a prime example of mobbing among work colleagues. It also shows the topicality and explosive nature of the issue of "mobbing". After the employer, who had been taken to task by the employee concerned, had done nothing about the mobbing, the employee resigned from the employment relationship and successfully sued the employer for damages. The following article examines the basis for claims for damages due to mobbing. For the sake of readability, the wording is not gender-neutral. However, all references to persons refer equally to all genders.

Pfandl, Remuneration claims of employees for inventions in the Insolvency, ZIK 2013/300.

Increasingly, patents invented by company employees are among the assets of an insolvency estate. These service inventions are regulated separately in the Austrian Patent Act and the inventors' claims are specially protected. If such inventions are used or sold by the insolvency administrator after the opening of insolvency proceedings as part of the continuation of the company, the question arises as to whether this gives rise to claims on the part of the employee inventor and who is liable for them.

Pfandl, Verwertungserlös und Zahlungsplanquote, ZIK 2002/260.

In this decision, the Austrian High Court assumes that, from a certain stage of the proceedings, the inclusion of the distribution proceeds in the payment plan quota can only be asserted as a defect by a bankruptcy creditor. If this defect is not raised by any bankruptcy creditor, it can no longer be used as a reason for refusing to confirm the payment plan.
