Re: [DIYbio] Re: DIYBio in Estonia?

I can't recall who did the research on this one, but it sounds like the
German law places responsibility on individuals even in case of
incorporation as a limited entity. That is, if you create a
biohackerspace and designate a member as the biosafety officer, that
member becomes wholly legally liable for any and all errors committed by
other members, even if the biohackerspace is incorporated etc.

I could be totally mis-recalling the facts on this one: it's likely to
be second-hand information from either Rudiger or Lisa..

If I could read German Legalese, I'd look it up to be more specific! :P
