The Fight Against Repayment Notices for Corona Emergency Aid: Exemplary Judgments and the Importance of Legal Assistance

1. Introduction

In the last few months, numerous recipients of Corona emergency aid have experienced an unpleasant surprise when they receive mail from the authorities: notices of repayment.

These requests to repay emergency aid could mean renewed financial difficulties for many who are already suffering from the economic consequences of the pandemic and the poor overall economic situation.

In this precarious situation, the support of an experienced lawyer can be crucial in taking action against the repayments and protecting your own financial interests.

Because as a large number of judgments show: legal action through an expert lawyer is worthwhile.

2. Exemplary judgment of the Hamburg Administrative Court dated April 28, 2023 (Az. 16 K 5209/21)

An (additionally) groundbreaking judgment in favor of entrepreneurs in this context is that of the Hamburg Administrative Court (file number 16 K 5209/21) of April 28, 2023. In this case, the court ruled in favor of an entrepreneur who sued against a recovery notice from the Corona emergency aid had.

The core content of the judgment related to the disproportionate nature of the flat-rate repayment without taking into account the individual economic situation of the person concerned.

The administrative court found, among other things, that the authorities must examine the personal and economic circumstances of each individual before demanding repayment.

The court essentially overturned the repayment order.

This ruling could set a precedent for similar cases.
