Ancillary staff in the sense of the law (Article 55 CO) are persons who carry out activities for the association and provide support, e.g. for the association’s events. Ancillary staff is neither active as a body of the association (committee, auditors, commissions) nor are they employees of the association. In the event of a damages claim, the association is not liable for their misconduct if it can prove that it has exercised the necessary care in selecting, guiding and controlling the ancillary staff.
