Key legal question
Whether the cost-advance order of CHF 600 should be set aside or reduced because the appellant lacked funds.
Extracted holding
The cost-advance order was not arbitrary and remained upheld.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 98 CPC leaves the amount of the advance to the court's discretion. Review is limited to abuse, excess, or underuse of discretion. The debt-order application contained no indication of financial inability and no request for legal aid. It was therefore not arbitrary to require the ordinary full advance.
