AI Summary of Article 9 Claims against DGSs

Member States shall ensure that depositors' rights to compensation may be the subject of an action against the deposit guarantee scheme (DGS). DGSs that make payments under guarantee within a national framework shall have the right of subrogation to depositors' rights in winding‑up or reorganisation proceedings for an amount equal to payments made. Where a DGS contributes under the resolution tools in Article 37(3)(a) or (b) of Directive 2014/59/EU, or under measures in Article 11(5) of this Directive, it has a claim in winding‑up proceedings against the residual credit institution equal to its contribution; that claim ranks at the same level as covered deposits under national insolvency law in accordance with Article 108(1) of Directive 2014/59/EU.

Member States shall ensure that depositors whose deposits have not been repaid or acknowledged by the DGS within the deadlines in Article 8(1) and (3) may bring a claim against the DGS for repayment within five years of the date on which the relevant administrative authority makes the determination referred to in Article 2(1)(8)(a) or a judicial authority issues the ruling referred to in Article 2(1)(8)(b).
