In doing so, the author analyses the impact of the ECJ¿s rulings in the cases Daily Mail, Centros, Überseering as well as Inspire Art and their effect on the ¿ until recently in continental Europe prevailing ¿ seat theory. Furthermore, the author carefully analyses the subsequent developments in Germany, with a particular focus on the trend to form a British Limited instead of a German GmbH as well as the thus resulting reform of German Limited Liability Company Act (GmbHG). Finally, the new competition of legal forms is evaluated by balancing the arguments in favour and/or against this development.
