Liability in sole proprietorships | Legal aid

Questioner

In the case of a BV or a NV, it is possible to hold individual (or multiple) directors liable in the event of bankruptcy, for example, by means of Article 2:138 paragraph 2 BW, Article 2:248 paragraph 2 BW and Article 6:162 BW. Can these articles also be used if it is a director of a sole proprietorship? If this is not the case, which articles can I use to indicate improper performance of duties, directors' liability based on tort or, for example, forgery?

Lawyer

A sole proprietorship has no legal management. If the owner acts unlawfully, you can directly address him on the grounds of unlawful act.

Lawyer

In a sole proprietorship, the owner is liable for all actions. He is liable with his entire assets (and that of his partner, if applicable) for all debts. If you have a claim on a sole proprietorship, you can also hold him/her liable and possibly summon him/her.
