Resumo Omnilex

The Federal Tribunal dealt with a constitutional subsidiary appeal in a debt-enforcement matter. After being ordered to pay an advance of costs of CHF 2,000, the appellant filed a brief stating that he renounced the case because the fees were too high. The court held that legal aid was excluded because the appeal had no prospects of success and that there was no reason to reduce the advance. It therefore construed the filing as a withdrawal, took note of it, struck the case from the docket, and charged the appellant CHF 300 in court costs.

Sumário Omnilex

Art. 64 al. 1, 65 al. 2, 66 al. 1, 71 and 73 PCF; art. 32 al. 2 LTF: where an appeal manifestly lacks prospects of success, legal aid is excluded; the advance of costs, fixed according to the amount in dispute, is not to be reduced absent grounds under the law. A declaration by the appellant that he renounces the case is to be construed as a withdrawal of the appeal, leading to removal from the docket. Costs are borne by the withdrawing appellant.

Ordonnance du 28 août 2007
IIe Cour de droit civil

Composition
M. le Juge Raselli, Président.
Greffier: M. Fellay.

Parties
X.________,
recourant,

contre

Y.________,
intimée, représentée par Me Jean Jacques Schwaab, avocat,

Objet
mainlevée d'opposition,

recours constitutionnel subsidiaire contre l'arrêt de la Cour des poursuites et faillites du Tribunal cantonal du canton de Vaud du 3 août 2007.

Vu :
l'acte de recours du 10 août 2007;
l'ordonnance présidentielle du 22 août 2007 impartissant au recourant un délai de cinq jours pour verser une avance de frais de 2'000 fr.
l'écriture du recourant du 25 août 2007, aux termes de laquelle il "renonce à cette affaire, les frais étant beaucoup trop élevés";

Considérant:
que l'octroi de l'assistance judiciaire s'avère d'emblée exclu, faute de chances de succès du recours (art. 64 al. 1 LTF), celui-ci ne répondant manifestement pas aux exigences des art. 116 et 117 LTF en relation avec l'art. 106 al. 2 LTF;
qu'une réduction du montant de l'avance requise n'entre pas non plus en considération, dès lors que ce montant a été fixé, conformément à l'art. 65 al. 2 LTF et au ch. 1 du Tarif des émoluments judiciaires du Tribunal fédéral (RS 173.110.210.1), en fonction de la valeur litigieuse;
qu'il convient donc de traiter l'écriture du recourant du 25 août 2007 comme un retrait de recours, d'en prendre acte et de rayer la cause du rôle (art. 73 PCF par renvoi de l'art. 71 LTF; art. 32 al. 2 LTF);
que les frais doivent être mis à la charge du recourant (art. 5 al. 2 PCF par renvoi de l'art. 71 LTF; art. 66 al. 1 LTF);

Par ces motifs, le Président de la IIe Cour de droit civil:
1.
Prend acte du retrait du recours et ordonne la radiation de la cause du rôle.
2.
Met un émolument judiciaire de 300 fr. à la charge du recourant.
3.
Communique la présente ordonnance en copie aux parties et à la Cour des poursuites et faillites du Tribunal cantonal du canton de Vaud.

Whether the appellant was entitled to legal aid or a reduction of the advance on costs.

Decisão extraída

Legal aid was refused and no reduction of the advance was ordered.

The appeal manifestly did not meet the admissibility and substantiation requirements, and the advance had been fixed according to the value in dispute.

Questão jurídica principal

Who must bear the court costs following the withdrawal.

The appellant was ordered to pay court costs of CHF 300.

Fundamentação extraída

Costs were charged to the withdrawing appellant under the applicable procedural rules.
