Key legal question
Whether an action for release from debt must be dismissed when the ordered advance on costs is not paid on time after express warning.
Extracted holding
Yes. The plaintiff's failure to pay the required advance on costs within the time limit justified dismissal of the pending action under § 94(3) ZPO.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the claimant initiated the action and was therefore subject to the advance-cost duty under § 94(1) ZPO. Since the advance was not paid despite an express warning, dismissal followed as provided by § 94(3) ZPO.
