Forfeiture of civil revision upon withdrawal and allocation of appellate costs under §§ 565, 516(3) ZPO

The Federal Court of Civil Procedure declared the defendant's appeal (Revision) forfeited following its withdrawal, leaving the judgment of the Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt am Main in effect; the defendant was ordered to bear the costs of the appellate proceedings. The dispute, valued at €6,000, involved a civil matter where the defendant sought to overturn the lower court's decision but subsequently withdrew the legal remedy. The decisive legal basis was the withdrawal of the appeal under §§ 565 and 516(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO), which resulted in the declaration of the appeal as forfeited and the allocation of costs to the withdrawing party.
