Sintesi Omnilex

The Federal Court of Justice rejected the plaintiff’s request to fix a partial amount in dispute for court costs. It held that, even apart from the question of timeliness under § 247 Abs. 3 Satz 2 AktG, such a request may be denied when the underlying appellate pursuit is wholly hopeless or vexatious. Here, the lower court had dismissed the action and refused leave to appeal, and the non-admission complaint had already been dismissed because no grounds for admission were present.

Massima Omnilex

§ 247 Abs. 2 S. 1 AktG; request for fixation of a partial amount in dispute for court costs may be refused where the appellate pursuit is entirely hopeless or vexatious. The court may deny the motion irrespective of whether it was filed in time under § 247 Abs. 3 S. 2 AktG, if the party's legal recourse lacks any realistic prospect of success. A prior dismissal of the action and refusal of leave to appeal, confirmed by rejection of the non-admission complaint for lack of grounds for admission, support the conclusion of complete futility.

Titelzeile

Festsetzung eines Teilstreitwerts bei völlig aussichtslosem Beschwerdeverfahren

Tenor

Der Antrag des Klägers, seine Verpflichtung zur Zahlung der Gerichtskosten nach einem Teil des Streitwerts zu bestimmen, wird zurückgewiesen.

Gründe

1 Der Antrag auf Festsetzung eines Teilstreitwerts ist unabhängig davon, ob er rechtzeitig gestellt ist (§ 247 Abs. 3 Satz 2 AktG), zurückzuweisen, weil die Rechtsverfolgung im Beschwerdeverfahren aussichtslos war. Der Antrag kann abgelehnt werden, wenn die Prozessführung völlig mutwillig oder aussichtslos ist (BGH, Beschluss vom 4. Juli 1991 - II ZR 249/90, ZIP 1991, 1581). Das Berufungsgericht hat die Klage abgewiesen und die Revision nicht zugelassen. Der Senat hat die dagegen gerichtete Nichtzulassungsbeschwerde mit Beschluss vom 5. April 2011 zurückgewiesen, weil kein Zulassungsgrund bestand.

Questione giuridica chiave

Whether a partial amount in dispute should be fixed for court costs under § 247 Abs. 2 Satz 1 AktG.

Decisione estratta

The request was rejected because the appeal was completely futile; a partial value may be denied where the litigation is wholly vexatious or hopeless.

Motivazione estratta

The court held that, regardless of timeliness under § 247 Abs. 3 Satz 2 AktG, the motion must fail if the legal pursuit is hopeless. The appellate court had dismissed the action and denied leave to appeal, and the non-admission complaint was later rejected because no grounds for admission existed.
