A real‑time record of the German health insurer lawsu­it (Case S 71 KR ²²⁰²⁄₂₄) befo­re the Social Court of Berlin. This time­line docu­ments only veri­fied pro­ce­du­ral actions: filings, court noti­ces, insurer respon­ses, and judi­cial steps.

Why This Timeline Is Public
After gai­ning access to the admi­nis­tra­ti­ve file, the plain­ti­ff dis­co­ver­ed miss­ing docu­ments, incom­ple­te notes, and absent medi­cal records. Because social courts ope­ra­te under the prin­ci­ple of trans­pa­ren­cy, each pro­ce­du­ral step is docu­men­ted wit­hout interpretation.

04 May 2025—Lawsuit Filed
A lawsu­it was sub­mit­ted to the Social Court of Berlin against the sta­tu­to­ry health insurer IKK Classic.
The fil­ing argues that the insurer’s actions cau­sed eco­no­mic and phy­si­cal harm through five inter­con­nec­ted mecha­nisms: manu­fac­tu­red defi­ci­en­cy, mani­pu­la­ted accoun­ting, con­cea­led assets, unlawful con­ti­nua­tion of pro­cee­dings, and medi­cal­ly indu­ced loss of work capa­ci­ty.
The com­plaint fur­ther sta­tes that IKK Classic issued con­tri­bu­ti­on demands based on the very dama­ge it hel­ped crea­te and sus­pen­ded bene­fits imme­dia­te­ly after the case was trans­fer­red to the Social Court—before the court had issued any decision.

The legal basis of the case is out­lined in the Statement of Claim, and the com­ple­te fil­ing is available as the full com­plaint (PDF).

All refe­ren­ced evi­dence is con­tai­ned in the Social Court file S 71 KR ²²⁰²⁄₂₄ and lis­ted in the Document Archive.
