Extracted by Omnilex
The Obergericht's II. Civil Chamber held that a lawyer appointed under § 29 ZPO/ZH must first be compensated from the court treasury. Because the defendant was not litigating in forma pauperis, he must reimburse the treasury for the amount paid, immediately and irrespective of the outcome of the main proceedings. Any possible recourse against the opposing party is to be decided later together with the merits and the procedural allocation of costs.
§ 29 ZPO/ZH; court-appointed representative; remuneration from court treasury and reimbursement by the represented party. A representative appointed by the court is to be compensated initially by the court treasury. If the represented party is not proceeding in forma pauperis, he must reimburse the treasury for the amount paid, immediately and independently of the result of the proceedings. Any right of recourse against the opposing party is reserved for the decision on the merits and on procedural compensation.
§ 29 ZPO/ZH, vom Gericht bestellter Vertreter. Der Vertreter ist aus der Ge- richtskasse zu honorieren.
(aus einem Entscheid des Obergerichts:)
Rechtsanwalt Dr. X wurde vom Gericht bestellt und ist daher zunächst aus der Gerichtskasse zu honorieren. Der Beklagte [Anm.: dem der Anwalt bestellt wurde, weil er sich gegenüber dem Gericht nicht adäquat ausdrücken konnte] prozessiert allerdings nicht im Armenrecht. Er hat der Gerichtskasse das Bezahlte daher zu ersetzen, und zwar sofort und unabhängig vom Ausgang des Verfah- rens. Ob und wie er dafür Rückgriff auf seine Prozessgegner hat, ist mit dem Ent- scheid in der Sache im Rahmen der Prozessentschädigung festzulegen. Das Gericht beschliesst: 1. Für seine Tätigkeit als Vertreter des Beklagten im Sinne von § 29 ZPO wird Rechtsanwalt Dr. X eine Entschädigung von Fr. 4'559.55 aus der Gerichts- kasse ausbezahlt. 2. Der Beklagte wird verpflichtet, den Betrag der Gerichtskasse zu ersetzen.

Whether the court-appointed representative must initially be paid from the court treasury under § 29 ZPO/ZH.
Yes. A court-appointed representative is to be remunerated initially from the court treasury.
The lawyer was appointed by the court for the defendant's representation, so his fee had to be advanced by the court treasury.
Whether the defendant must reimburse the court treasury for the amount paid to the court-appointed representative, regardless of the outcome of the case.
Yes. Because the defendant was not proceeding in forma pauperis, he must reimburse the treasury immediately and independently of the final outcome.
The defendant was not granted poor-person status; therefore, the amount paid by the treasury is recoverable from him at once. Any recourse against the opposing party is to be determined later with the decision on the merits and procedural compensation.
