Omnilex summary

The Obergericht confirms its settled practice that, where a case is remanded to the Amtsgericht under § 250 ZPO after the lower court judgment has been set aside for supplementation and reconsideration, the remand decision is only an interlocutory, procedural order of second instance. As a result, no appellate hearing with subsequent public deliberation is held.

Omnilex headnote

§ 250 ZPO; Remand decision as interim order; An appellate judgment that merely sets aside the first-instance decision and remands the case to the Amtsgericht for supplementation and reconsideration is not a final merits decision but an interlocutory procedural order of second instance. In such a constellation, the appellate court need not hold an appellate hearing followed by public deliberation (practice confirmed).

Full text

Liegt ein Fall nach § 250 ZPO vor, in dem das Urteil der Vorinstanz aufgehoben und der Prozess zur Vervollständigung und Neubeurteilung an das Amtsgericht zurückgewiesen wird, so findet nach konstanter Praxis des Obergerichts keine Appellationsverhandlung mit anschliessender öffentlicher Urteilsberatung statt, da es sich beim Rüekweisungsentscheid lediglich um einen Zwischenentscheid, eine prozessleitende Verfügung zweiter Instanz handelt (Praxisbestätigung).

Key legal question

Whether a remand decision under § 250 ZPO requires an appellate hearing followed by public deliberation.

Extracted holding

No. A remand judgment of this kind is treated as an interim, case-managing order of the second instance, so no appellate hearing with subsequent public deliberation is held.

Extracted reasoning

According to the Obergericht’s consistent practice, a remand decision that merely annuls the first-instance judgment and returns the case for supplementation and reconsideration is not a final merits judgment but only an interlocutory procedural order.
