If the VSH insurance lapses, the insurer will notify the registration authority.<\/p>\n<p>Failure to obtain new cover from another insurer in good time will result in the withdrawal of the licence.<br \/>\nAlready according to the VVG no insurer has to pay in case of intentional breach of duty. In the case of compulsory occupational VSH insurance, the legislator permits insurers to<br \/>\nalso exclude the area of &#8220;knowing breach of duty&#8221; from coverage,<br \/>\nwhich is also provided for in (almost) every domestic VSH tariff in its AVB.

VSH compulsory cover therefore does not mean comprehensive protection.<br \/>\nFurther details on this, as well as on other &#8220;coverage gaps in the liability for property damage&#8221;, can be found in the book of the same name published by C.H.Beck. Regularly it will<br \/>\nHowever, it may be the case that, in addition to &#8220;knowing breaches of duty&#8221;, other consultancy errors are also present, for which VSH cover will then nevertheless exist in the same case.<\/p>\n<p>Until now, many VSH cover policies have stipulated that there is no VSH cover without advice and\/or documentation. If an insurer does this in the case of a VSH compulsory cover<br \/>\nwould continue to do so, this could be ineffective, because according to the law and case law, an intermediary (in contrast to an advisor) owes the investor only information<br \/>\n(and no consulting right now). It should be just as ineffective if &#8220;legal and tax advice&#8221; is completely excluded from the VSH coverage in the insurance broker VSH,<br \/>\nbecause as far as it concerns simple legal advice as an &#8220;ancillary service&#8221; in the sense of the RDG, this is completely legal and must therefore also be covered by the VSH compulsory insurance.<br \/>\nShould there be no cover in the VSH for a gross professional or wilful error, and the private assets of the financial investment intermediary do not provide compensation either<br \/>\nIf the financial investment intermediary does not offer the same service, the customer is effectively left to bear the loss &#8211; he then bears the insolvency risk of the financial investment intermediary.<\/p>\n<p>The VSH compulsory insurance can therefore not really be called comprehensive consumer protection.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the series of newsletters of the DHBW (Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University) Heidenheim on the topic &#8220;Mediation Law in Practice&#8221;: At this point, attorney-at-law Dr. Johannes Fiala, <a href=\"https:\/\/fiala4instalive.instawp.xyz\">https:\/\/fiala4instalive.instawp.xyz<\/a>, lecturer for insurance law at the DHBW Heidenheim, your questions.
