Rejection of complaint against non-admission of revision in civil liability dispute without substantive justification under § 544 ZPO

The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) Seventh Civil Senate dismissed the defendant's complaint against the non-admission of revision, leaving the lower court's decision in force and ordering the defendant to bear the costs of the appeal proceedings, with a nominal value capped at €320,000. The dispute concerned a civil liability matter where the defendant challenged the Oberlandesgericht Karlsruhe's refusal to permit an appeal to the BGH, thereby contesting the procedural prerequisites for judicial review. The court declined to provide a substantive written justification for the dismissal under § 544 Abs. 6 Satz 2, 2. Halbsatz ZPO, as the review did not serve to clarify the legal requirements for admitting a revision, and the decision was rendered by a panel of five judges without individual dissenting opinions recorded.
