Waiver of reasoning for dismissal of complaint for non-admission of revision

The German Federal Court of Civil Procedure (BGH) dismissed the defendant's complaint for leave to appeal, thereby upholding the lower court's refusal to grant leave for revision and leaving the judgment of the Cologne Higher Regional Court in force; the defendant was ordered to bear the costs of the complaint proceedings. The dispute arose from a civil litigation matter, with a disputed value of €23,224.85, wherein the defendant challenged the appellate court's decision not to admit the case for further review. The court applied § 544(6) sentence 2, second half-sentence of the Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO), determining that a written justification for the dismissal was unnecessary because such reasoning would not contribute to clarifying the prerequisites for admitting a revision.
