The draft act consists of two main parts:

  • The first concerns the introduction of the so-called holding law (group law, group law) which – in the broader doctrinal meaning – regulates private and legal relations between the parent company and its subsidiaries, taking into account the interests of creditors, members of governing bodies and small partners (shareholders), especially of the subsidiary.
