Since 1 July more options for having a foundation’s trustee discharged by the court

Until recently, it was relatively difficult to remove a trustee in the event of mismanagement at a foundation. The parties involved could apply to the court for this purpose only in limited and very specific cases. However, as of 1 July 2021, the statutory grounds for discharge have been expanded. Attorney Onno Hennis, a corporate law specialist, explains the change in the legislation in this blog.
