Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s)
English term or phrase: officer in default
(c) The Investor Directors shall not be in charge of, or responsible for the day to day management of the Company and shall not be deemed to be “officers in default” as the term is defined in the Act and shall accordingly not be liable for any default or failure of the Company in complying with the provisions of any applicable laws.

Der Companies Act beschreibt den "officer in default" wie folgt:

Liability of officer in default

(1) This section has effect for the purposes of any provision of the Companies Acts to the effect that, in the event of contravention of an enactment in relation to a company, an offence is committed by every officer of the company who is in default.

(2) For this purpose “officer” includes—

(a) any director, manager or secretary, and

(b) any person who is to be treated as an officer of the company for the purposes of the provision in question.

(3) An officer is “in default” for the purposes of the provision if he authorises or permits, participates in, or fails to take all reasonable steps to prevent, the contravention.

haftpflichtiger Officer


Explanation:
Da man sich durch eine Pflichtverletzung haftbar oder haftpflichtig macht, könnte eine Lösung auch so aussehen:

Haftung haftpflichtiger Officer

(3) Ein Officer ist im Sinne der Bestimmung „haftpflichtig“, wenn er die Zuwiderhandlung erlaubt oder zulässt, sich an dieser beteiligt oder nicht alle angemessenen Maßnahmen vornimmt, um diese zu verhindern.
