Objection to court fee assessment following rejection of legal complaint in commercial matter

The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) First Civil Senate dismissed the debtor's objection to the court's fee assessment, thereby upholding the original charge. The dispute concerned a procedural fee objection (*Erinnerung*) filed against a cost calculation of 72 EUR, which had been imposed following the rejection of a legal complaint (*Rechtsbeschwerde*) by the same Senate in a commercial law matter. The court held that the debtor's objection was inadmissible and meritless because the rejection of the legal complaint necessarily triggered the fee stipulated under item No. 2124 of the Cost Schedule (Appendix 1 to the German Court Costs and Fees Act, GKG). Furthermore, the court determined that the objection proceeding itself is free of court fees pursuant to § 66(8) sentence 1 GKG, while confirming that the debtor is entitled to no further responses regarding this matter.
