agree  Tom Thumb: good reference! This must be an Austrian-German legal question. The construction is idiosyncratic to the country.// Yes, a worthy philosophical proposition on the assumption the Internet doesn't crash at some time in the future.

disagree  AllegroTrans: it's not about a "further" claim, it's simply about failure to notify and the consequences of not doing so

agree  Sebastian Witte: Correct. Also agree with ignoring "sonstigem" which does not carry any meaning here. / Anyway, regardless of whether you are right or I am, what matters is that this answer is the essence of Paul's agree above, neatly worded.
13 mins
  -> Thanks Sebastian - actually the sonstige does have meaning, otherwise you could interpret it as Gabriella has, which I think is a misinterpretation.
agree  Paul Skidmore: this is another way of putting what camille and tom thumb suggest
28 mins
  -> Thanks Paul. I agree, I just feel it's that little bit neater.
