Accessory interest claims on partially settled main claims: exclusion from dispute value under § 43 Abs. 1 GKG due to continued dependency on litigated principal

§ 43 Abs. 1 GKG, § 43 Abs. 2 GKG; Accessory interest claims on partially settled main claims: exclusion from dispute value under § 43 Abs. 1 GKG due to continued dependency on litigated principal: The dispute concerned whether statutory interest claims totaling approximately €69,964.90, which were subject to a plaintiff's unilateral declaration that part of the main claim was settled (erledigt), should be counted as additional dispute value for court fee purposes. The court held that such interest functions as an accessory claim and does not increase the dispute value under § 43(1) GKG because the primary underlying claim remained in litigation; a lack of dependency between the accessory and main claims, which would trigger inclusion under § 43(2) GKG, did not exist as the settlement declaration had not been accepted by the opposing party, leaving the main claim active.
