Admission of Revision on dispute over interest accrual on out-of-court attorney fees

The German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) partially dismissed the plaintiff's complaint for non-admission but admitted the plaintiff's appeal (Revision) against the Munich Higher Regional Court's decision from March 30, 2023, thereby allowing the case to proceed to the highest court on the merits. The dispute concerned a civil procedure where the plaintiff challenged the lower appellate court's refusal to release them from paying interest on out-of-court attorney fees. The BGH exercised its supervisory review under § 544 ZPO, rejecting the plaintiff's argument for interest exemption based on precedent that such fees are generally subject to interest, while admitting the broader appeal for the remainder of the legal issues. No oral hearing or extensive written reasoning was provided, as permitted under § 544 Abs. 6 Satz 2 Halbsatz 2 ZPO for non-admission complaints.
