The court addressed a provisional driving-license withdrawal and related procedural questions. It held that the provisional preventive withdrawal is an appealable interim decision, cannot be ordered independently of the main withdrawal proceedings, and does not prevent later continuation of the case. It further stated that expert costs are procedural costs, that no advance may be demanded for such costs when legal aid is granted, and that default warnings are permissible if an advance is refused. In special situations, an expert report may be commissioned without advance payment. The court also clarified that non-frivolousness for legal aid may exist while it is still open whether a withdrawal will ultimately be ordered.
Provisional driving-license withdrawal; appealability and procedural consequences; expert costs and legal aid. The provisional preventive withdrawal constitutes an interim decision amenable to administrative law appeal, but it cannot be issued independently of the merits proceedings, which must culminate in a final decision. Expert costs incurred in the withdrawal procedure are procedural costs. In the presence of granted legal aid, no advance payment may be required for such costs; however, a warning of default consequences for refusal to pay an advance is admissible. In exceptional cases where expert evidence is indispensable and the advance is nevertheless refused, the authority may commission the expert opinion without advance payment. The non-frivolousness requirement for legal aid is met where, at filing, it remains open whether the procedure will actually lead to a withdrawal; the investigation principle is correspondingly limited by the parties' duty to cooperate.

Whether the provisional preventive license withdrawal is an appealable interim decision.
The provisional preventive withdrawal is an interim decision and may be challenged by administrative law appeal.
The measure has an interim character and is not a final determination of the withdrawal case.
Whether a provisional preventive withdrawal may be ordered independently of the main withdrawal proceedings.
It cannot be ordered in isolation; a final decision must follow in the actual withdrawal proceedings.
The provisional measure is tied to the pending main withdrawal case and does not replace its conclusion.
Whether expert costs count as procedural costs in a withdrawal case.
Expert costs are procedural costs in the withdrawal proceedings.
Costs incurred for the necessary expert assessment form part of the procedural costs of the case.
Whether a request to continue the preventive-withdrawal proceedings remains admissible after the provisional withdrawal has become final.
The request for continuation must still be heard even if the provisional withdrawal has entered into legal force.
The finality of the provisional measure does not eliminate the need to decide the main proceedings.
Whether expert costs require an advance payment when legal aid has been granted.
No cost advance may be required for expert costs if legal aid is granted.
Granting legal aid removes the obligation to prepay such costs.
Whether a warning of default consequences is permissible if the cost advance is not paid.
Such a warning is permissible.
The authority may threaten procedural consequences if the advance is refused.
Whether, in special cases where an expert report is indispensable but the person refuses to pay the advance, the expert opinion may be commissioned without advance payment.
Yes, in such special cases the expert report may be ordered without requiring an advance.
Where the assessment is indispensable and the advance is refused, the procedure may continue without prepayment.
When the criterion of non-frivolousness is met for legal aid in non-contentious preventive withdrawal proceedings.
It is satisfied when, at the time the legal-aid request is filed, it remains open whether the proceedings will actually result in a withdrawal.
If a withdrawal is still uncertain at that stage, the application is not devoid of prospects.
Whether the duty to cooperate can limit the investigation principle in preventive withdrawal proceedings.
The investigation principle is relativized by the parties' duty to cooperate.
A party's own conduct may justify a reduced investigative burden on the authority.
