Overview
- The Düsseldorf Regional Court scheduled the civil hearing for 11 February in case 2b O 112/25.
- The father is seeking €125,000 in pain-and-suffering damages from the Land NRW after his 13-year-old daughter died during a London class trip in 2019.
- The state, represented by the Düsseldorf district government, is contesting all claims and is even disputing the father's asserted illness.
- The father's attorney says efforts to reach an out-of-court settlement failed after talks were blocked.
- Two teachers were previously convicted of negligent homicide for not obtaining written health information before the trip, with the judgment noting earlier recognition of the girl's diabetes emergency might have prevented her death.
