Key legal question
Whether half of the procedural costs could be imposed on the accused after dismissal
Extracted holding
Yes. His conduct amounted to a civil-law blameworthy personality violation that caused the proceedings, so partial cost allocation was permissible.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 426(2) StPO allows costs after dismissal when the accused unlawfully and culpably caused the proceedings. The court held that the father’s threats and conduct objectively infringed his daughter’s personality rights under Art. 28 ZGB and triggered the police complaint.
