Overview
- At the Landgericht Hamburg, Verona Pooth and investor Bolko Kissling are contesting unpaid fees tied to a halted celebrity licensing and cooperation agreement.
- The court moved the matter into written submissions and scheduled a ruling for January 23, 2026.
- Presiding judge Jakob Serra-Kleineidamm signaled the contract allocated business risk to Sneak Avenue GmbH, weakening reliance on §313 BGB linked to Görtz’s insolvency issues.
- The two-year arrangement was reported at €800,000 plus up to 9% revenue share, following photoshoots, an in-store launch, and other promotion Pooth says she fulfilled.
- Payments so far include €150,000 transferred and about €60,000 obtained via garnishment; Pooth offered to waive €300,000 for termination, which Kissling rejected while seeking a €30,000 repayment.
