NEWSLETTER 07-2020: UPDATE EPIDEMIC LAW: EXTENSION OF THE TIME LIMIT FOR COMPENSATION CLAIMS
The latest amendment to the Epidemic Act opens up new opportunities for numerous entrepreneurs affected by entry bans: Previously, an application for compensation under the Epidemic Act had to be submitted within six weeks must be submitted to the responsible district administrative authority once the restrictions are removed. A period of three months is now planned for this. In addition, deadlines that have already expired and are currently running begin to run again.
In our previous newsletters on this topic from April 30, 2020 and May 19, 2020, the question was discussed as to whether compensation claims based on the Epidemic Act would be conceivable due to the entry bans and traffic restrictions issued on the basis of the COVID-19 Measures Act .
You can read about whether an application could pay off and what new things have to be taken into account as a result of the latest amendment in our contribution.
