Waiver of reasoning for non-admission of revision appeal under § 544 ZPO

The Federal Court of Justice (7th Civil Senate) rejected the defendant's complaint against the non-admission of a revision appeal, thereby upholding the judgment of the Oberlandesgericht Köln and leaving the lower court's decision final and binding in favor of the plaintiff; the defendant was ordered to bear the costs of the proceedings, including those incurred through auxiliary intervention. The dispute arose from a civil action worth approximately €126,318, where the defendant sought to challenge the regional court's refusal to admit a further appeal to the Federal Court of Justice. The decisive legal basis for the rejection was § 544 Abs. 6 Satz 2, 2. Halbsatz ZPO, under which the court waived a detailed reasoning because providing one would not contribute to clarifying the preconditions for the admission of a revision appeal.
