Overview
- The Landgericht Düsseldorf, which ruled Monday, dismissed the couple’s suit seeking about €675,000 in additional damages.
- The court said there was no breach because the broker entered the listed valuables into an Excel file and sent it to Verona Pooth without receiving objections.
- Judges noted Pooth provided no written proof that she later told the insurer about further high-value purchases.
- The couple can file an appeal within one month at the Higher Regional Court in Düsseldorf.
- The dispute follows a Christmas Eve 2021 burglary at the Meerbusch villa that remains unsolved, after which the insurer ultimately paid €975,000 following initial references to €650,000 for valuables and €5,000 in cash.
