Defence of a claim for damages

RUOSS VÖGELE represents a former board member in a claim for damages for alleged breach of fiduciary duty in court. The court dismissed the action inter alia in its entirety on the grounds of lack of unlawfulness (no evidence of unlawful trade secret infringement) and lack of causality and ordered the counterparty to pay the court costs and a party cost compensation.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
