Heilbronn Regional Court rejects compensation for loss of earnings due to Corona business closure

The operator of a hairdressing salon has failed with her urgent application to obtain an advance payment of €1,000 from the state of Baden-Württemberg for the compensation to which she is entitled. She had to close her hair salon at the end of March due to the coronavirus crisis. Rents and other costs naturally continued, but there was no longer any income. However, the court rejected the operator’s application. It had already received sufficient emergency aid from the state in the amount of 9,000 euros and had not demonstrated any existential emergency. In particular, business closures that were not specifically ordered by the authorities (but in general, as was the case) were not covered by the corresponding entitlement standard of the Infection Protection Act (Heilbronn Regional Court, judgment of 29 April 2020, ref.: I 4 O 82/20).
