2. Million-Euro Dispute Between Hertha and Bobic Still Unresolved
Ongoing discord over the million-dollar disagreement between Hertha and Bobic - Ongoing impasse in the substantial financial disagreement between Hertha BSC and the club's former manager, Pal Dardai, alias Bobic.
Take a seat, buddy! Let's talk about the ongoing $million legal battle between Hertha BSC and their ex-CEO, Fredi Bobic. The Berlin Regional Court confirmed that a settlement hasn't been struck yet in this high-stakes game. They told the press, "Case 90 O 29/23 has not been concluded through a settlement agreement between the parties." This news comes after rumors swirling around in the press.
So, what's next? The Commercial Court has scheduled a hearing for July 3rd, where they'll publish a decision. That's when we might see a verdict! Hertha has turned down the settlement proposal made by the court, according to Bobic. The club stated that both parties have agreed on a confidential conversation during this court process, so they're staying mum for now. There's still a chance for these two to kiss and make up before the hearing.
It seemed like a settlement was just around the corner
Bobic fired up his legal artillery back in early 2023, challenging his regular and extraordinary termination, while demanding owed salary, a contractually agreed severance, and interests totaling over four million euros.
During a court session in late May, both sides' lawyers showed signs of coming to an agreement, with a proposed settlement of 3.2 million euros on the table. However, Hertha asked for a three-week window to consider this offer, holding back a final decision. The process had already been delayed several times due to multiple recusal applications by Hertha Berlin.
If the court rules in Bobic's favor, he'll have the immediate go-ahead to demand Hertha cough up the entire claimed amount. But, that wouldn't wrap things up neatly. A follow-up process could still follow, as explained by the regional court spokesperson.
