Questão jurídica principal
How should second-instance costs be allocated after the parties settle the appeal by reciprocal concessions?
Decisão extraída
The appellate costs were split equally, CHF 750 each, because the settlement resulted from mutual concessions and no party fully prevailed.
Fundamentação extraída
Where the settlement does not regulate costs, the court applies the CPC cost rules according to the outcome of the case; with reciprocal concessions and no full success for either side, equal allocation is appropriate.
