Following a decision by the Supreme Court (OGH), the dispute over the collapse of a building section of the Manner factory in Vienna-Hernals in 2014 will continue to occupy the courts.
Although the wafer producer won a lawsuit against the then construction manager and the construction supervision "in principle" at the end of October 2023, the amount of damages was to be determined after the interim judgment became final. However, the defendants filed an appeal.
Manner estimated damage at 25 million euros
Manner estimated the damage at 25 million euros at the time. However, the appeals were upheld by the OGH, the publicly listed company announced on Friday. The decisions of the lower courts are overturned. And the proceedings are to continue in the first instance. "The first court must make a new decision after supplementing the proceedings," Manner added.
