Dear Ian, The insolvency court appointed Dr. Steffen Goede as the interim trustee and since the proceedings are a legal matter it is quite logical to appoint a lawyer to that position. While an accountant - if appointed to the trustee position - would be able to give an authoritative opinion on accounting matters, he wouldn't be able to do the same as far as legal matters are concerned, nor would he have standing, as far as legal matters are concerned, before the court. OTOH a lawyer (or law firm) as the trustee will be able to obtain any expert opinions and statements from an accountant they retain. When the lawyer presents those opinions/statements they have full legal standing by virtue of who presents them. Does that clarify your question? Best regards ER PS the German legal system is substantially different from systems derived from the British system.
