BGH Rules No Insurance Case Against Arijus Transport in Funds Delay

Arijus Transport, a cash transport company, has been in the spotlight for its handling of client funds. The Belgian court previously convicted the company's former deputy transport minister and managing director for labor rights violations. Now, the Supreme Court has ruled on a case involving the company's financial practices.

The Supreme Court dismissed a claim against the insurer by clients who alleged that Arijus Transport had intentionally delayed reimbursement. The company was accused of depositing received money into its own account to satisfy its own claims first. However, the court ruled that no insurance case had occurred as the company's actions did not constitute a breach of contract or negligence.

The ruling comes after a series of controversies surrounding Arijus Transport. In 2019, a Belgian court convicted the company's former deputy transport minister and managing director for violating labor rights of their truck drivers. The conviction highlighted the company's poor treatment of its employees and raised questions about its business practices.

The Supreme Court's ruling clarifies the legal stance on Arijus Transport's handling of client funds. While the company's past actions have raised concerns, the court has ruled that, in this specific case, no insurance case was made out. The ruling serves as a reminder for companies to adhere to contractual obligations and ethical business practices.
