BGH VIII ZR 294/12•Refusal to appoint counsel for inadmissible non-admission appeal
BGH VIII ZR 294/12Bgh / Civil Chamber 8Nov 20, 2012Dismissed
Extracted by Omnilex
The defendant requested appointment of a lawyer for an intended non-admission appeal against the Berlin Regional Court's decision. The Federal Court of Justice refused the request because the contemplated appeal had no prospect of success and was in any event inadmissible: the value in dispute clearly did not exceed EUR 20,000. The Senate also stated that there is no legal basis for a provisional admission of an attorney not admitted to appear before the Federal Court of Justice.
§ 78b Abs. 2 ZPO; § 26 Nr. 8 EGZPO: A court-appointed lawyer is to be assigned only if the intended legal remedy is not manifestly hopeless and the party cannot otherwise obtain representation; where a contemplated non-admission appeal is inadmissible because the statutory amount in dispute is not reached, the request must be refused. A provisional authorization of a lawyer not admitted to the Federal Court of Justice has no statutory basis.

Beiordnung eines Notanwalts für eine Nichtzulassungsbeschwerde
Der Antrag des Beklagten auf Beiordnung eines Rechtsanwalts wird zurückgewiesen.
1 Die Beiordnung eines Anwalts (Notanwalts) kommt nicht in Betracht, weil die Rechtsverfolgung des Beklagten - unabhängig von der Frage der rechtzeitigen Rechtsmitteleinlegung - aussichtslos ist (§ 78 b Abs. 2 ZPO). Die beabsichtigte Nichtzulassungsbeschwerde gegen den Beschluss des Landgerichts Berlin vom 4. September 2012 ist auch deshalb unzulässig, weil der nach § 26 Nr. 8 EGZPO erforderliche Beschwerdewert von mehr als 20.000 € durch die Verurteilung des Beklagten zur Zustimmung zu einer monatlichen Mieterhöhung um 96 €, zur Räumung des zusätzlich zur Wohnung im zweiten OG im ersten OG angemieteten Zimmers und zur Entfernung eines Regals aus der Waschküche - offensichtlich - nicht erreicht ist.
2 Für die "vorläufige Zulassung" eines nicht am Bundesgerichtshof zugelassenen Anwalts durch den Senat gibt es keine Rechtsgrundlage.

Whether a court-appointed lawyer should be assigned for the intended non-admission appeal.
Appointment was refused because the intended appeal had no prospect of success.
Under Section 78b(2) ZPO, a notary counsel is unavailable when the contemplated legal remedy is hopeless; the planned non-admission appeal would also be inadmissible for failure to meet the statutory value threshold.
Whether the intended non-admission appeal was admissible despite the amount in dispute requirement.
No; the appeal value of more than EUR 20,000 was manifestly not reached.
The underlying order concerned only a monthly rent increase of EUR 96, surrender of an additional room, and removal of a shelf, which clearly falls short of the threshold under Section 26 No. 8 EGZPO.
Whether there was a basis for a provisional admission of a non-admitted attorney before the Federal Court of Justice.
No legal basis existed for such provisional admission.
The Senate expressly stated that no legal basis exists for the requested provisional authorization of an attorney not admitted to the Federal Court of Justice.
