Liability of governing bodies
Those who act in their capacity as members of a governing body, e.g. as committee members, create a commitment for the association through their actions. The association is responsible or liable for the legal transactions, which its governing bodies enter into, and for their conduct in general. It is also liable for any culpable conduct of its governing bodies towards an injured person. However, if a member of a governing body causes damage, he/she is personally responsible for his/her culpable conduct, too.
