Questão jurídica principal
Whether party compensation in debt-enforcement opening proceedings must be determined according to the dispute value.
Decisão extraída
No. In opening proceedings, compensation is not assessed by the amount in dispute but by the importance, difficulty, scope, nature, and time spent on the case.
Fundamentação extraída
Opening proceedings are enforcement proceedings deciding only limited issues; they are not equivalent to ordinary civil litigation. The applicable fee tariff allows a reasonable lump-sum compensation, and the dispute value is not decisive, even though the amount pursued may influence the practical importance and counsel's responsibility.
