Fires in RVs and e-scooters: courts don't always side with insurers

Lawyer Ahn Young-jin argues, based on court rulings, that insurance companies do not always win lawsuits over damages from battery fires. Courts often dismiss claims if the direct causal link between the defendant's actions (manufacturer, installer, repairer) and the fire is not proven. For instance, in a converted motorhome case, a court rejected a 140 million won claim because the battery was old and not supplied by the defendant. In another case involving an e-scooter, the claim was dismissed due to non-original parts and a charger.

German Federal Fiscal Court: Luxury motorhome sales can be tax-exempt

Germany's highest fiscal court has ruled that the short-term resale of expensive motorhomes is not necessarily subject to speculation tax. The decision stems from a case where a Saxon couple sold a motorhome for €315,000 a few months after purchase. The court classified the motorhome as an item for personal use, which is an exception to the one-year tax rule for private sales.
