The first trial on the amount of the mandatory part of the inheritance for Niki Lauda’s widow Birgit started on Tuesday in Vienna. The court must determine exactly how much this amount comes from the estate and foundation assets. During the negotiations it quickly becomes clear: everything is being done to postpone payment to the 45-year-old.
Equipped with enormous black briefcases and heavy books, five lawyers take their seats at the defendant’s side on Tuesday in the small room 7 of the Regional Civil Court in Vienna. They represent Mathias and Lukas Lauda, the Lauda Private Foundation and its subsidiary.
Christoph Kerres, Birgit Lauda’s lawyer, sits opposite the five men. In front of him is a thin green folder and a notebook. It’s all about the heart of the matter. Or rather: millions.
