On 4 September 2023, the Federal Office of Justice (Bundesamt für Justiz – BfJ) imposed a disciplinary fine amounting to 2,500 euros on LifeFit Group MidCo GmbH.
The disciplinary fine order related to a breach of section 325 of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch – HGB). LifeFit Group MidCo GmbH failed to submit its accounting documents for the financial year 2020/2021 for the purpose of disclosure to the operator of the German Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) in electronic form within the prescribed period. The legal basis for the sanction is section 335 of the HGB.
The company did not lodge an appeal against the Federal Office of Justice’s decision to impose a disciplinary fine.
