Admissibility of revisionary appeal against appellate decision in civil dispute

The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) granted the plaintiff's leave to appeal, thereby permitting a revisionary challenge to the decision of the Oberlandesgericht Nürnberg dated January 25, 2023, while explicitly dismissing the plaintiff's request for exemption from paying interest on extrajudicial attorney fees. This procedural ruling addresses a civil dispute where the plaintiff sought to contest the lower appellate court's order, resulting in the plaintiff prevailing on the threshold issue of admissibility, which allows the case to proceed to the BGH for substantive review. The legal basis for the partial dismissal regarding the interest exemption relies on established precedents (BGH, March 14, 2017 - XI ZR 508/15; BGH, October 12, 2017 - IX ZR 267/17) affirming that such interest is generally payable, whereas the grant of revisionary leave follows the standard assessment of whether the appeal meets the requirements for review under the German Code of Civil Procedure.
