Questão jurídica principal
Whether procedural costs should still be charged after a complaint withdrawal.
Decisão extraída
After a withdrawal of the complaint, the court will as a rule no longer waive procedural costs; the prior practice of usually dispensing with costs is abandoned.
Fundamentação extraída
Section 23 VKD permits waiver of the state fee only when proceedings are not fully conducted, which is the case on withdrawal; the same applies to the clerical fee under section 27 VKD. However, the court changed its practice and will in future generally not forgo procedural costs after withdrawal.
