Extracted by Omnilex
The Bonn Local Court ordered the defendant to pay the plaintiffs 446.02 DM plus 4% interest from 30 July 1998. It held that the defendant breached a duty by pursuing unjustified out-of-court claims for attorney fees and default interest. The defendant was also ordered to bear the costs of the proceedings. The judgment was declared provisionally enforceable.
The out-of-court pursuit of unjustified claims for attorney fees and default interest constitutes a breach of duty. Such conduct may give rise to a damages claim where the requirements for liability are established.
