Non-admission of revision: procedural requirements and dismissal of complaint without substantive reasoning

The German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) dismissed the defendant's complaint against the non-admission of revision, leaving the lower court's judgment in favor of the plaintiff in force and ordering the defendant to bear the costs of the appellate proceedings. The dispute concerned a civil law matter with a stake of approximately €107,650, where the defendant challenged the Oberlandesgericht Düsseldorf's refusal to permit appeal to the BGH. The court denied the complaint without providing a substantive written opinion, applying the principle that a justification is unnecessary when it would not contribute to clarifying the conditions under which revision may be admitted, pursuant to § 544(6) sentence 2, second half-sentence of the Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO).
