Questão jurídica principal
Whether interest on the part of the dispute declared moot increases the dispute value under § 43 GKG.
Decisão extraída
No. Interest on the moot part remained an ancillary claim and therefore did not increase the dispute value under § 43(1) GKG.
Fundamentação extraída
Ancillary claims do not raise the dispute value. A different treatment under § 43(2) GKG would require that the principal claim no longer be in dispute, so that the interest claim is no longer dependent on it. That was not the case because the claimant's declaration of mootness remained unilateral and the principal claim was still contested.
