The plaintiffs pursued appellate relief against judgments of the Hannover courts. The Federal Court of Justice, acting on the plaintiffs’ remedies, set aside the regional court judgment and amended the district court judgment by entering a new acknowledgment judgment. The defendant was ordered to pay each plaintiff EUR 400 with statutory default interest from 29 January 2013 and to indemnify them against pre-litigation legal costs of EUR 120.67. The defendant was also ordered to bear the costs of the proceedings.
ZPO; recognition judgment on appeal; where the respondent acknowledges the claim, the appellate court sets aside the challenged decisions and enters a new judgment in accordance with the acknowledgment, including ancillary claims such as interest and pre-litigation costs, and allocates costs against the acknowledging party.
