In 2012, a BGH attorney commissioned by Solmecke fought a judgment on the liability of parents for their underage children at the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe, according to which parents are not liable for their children if they have fulfilled a certain duty to inform. In 2017, a BGH lawyer commissioned by Solmecke reached before the Federal Court of Justice that family members do not have to spy on one another in order to clear up a file-sharing act.
