Questione giuridica chiave
Who must decide an express procedural objection under § 138(2) ZPO in a revision proceeding?
Decisione estratta
If the defendant expressly raises a procedural objection under § 138(2) ZPO, the Amtsgericht must decide it in a judgment; the instructing judge has no power to order or refuse the procedural limitation.
Motivazione estratta
Section 138(2) ZPO leaves the choice of refusing substantive participation entirely to the defendant. Unlike §§ 138(1) and (3) ZPO, it does not require action or approval by the instructing judge.
