GRP Rainer Lawyers and Tax Advisors in Cologne, Berlin, Bonn, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart and London – www.grprainer.com/en conclude: In a recent decision (File number: 5 U 32/12), the Superior Court (KG) of Berlin ruled that it is mandatory to provide an e-mail address with the “site notice” of an Internet website. The case in question was a dispute between two competitive applicants concerning the mandatory information in a “site notice”. At court, the defendant argued that naming a fax number, several telephone numbers and the possibility of contact by means of an online contact form would satisfy the TMG requirements. Neither the Regional Court of Berlin nor the Superior Court of Berlin agreed with the defendant.
