Attorney fee dispute value in execution objection proceedings: Unrestricted inclusion of accrued interest based on enforcement submission

The Federal Court of Justice (7th Civil Senate) ordered that the dispute value for attorney's fees in an execution objection proceeding be set at up to €3,750,000, thereby rejecting the debtor's argument for a lower valuation. The dispute concerned the calculation of the fee-relevant amount for enforcing a monetary claim of €3,000,000, specifically whether the accrued interest component should be limited by a temporal restriction. The court held that under §§ 33 and 25 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 RVG, the dispute value comprises the principal claim plus all ancillary demands, including 4.5% interest accrued from December 31, 2018, until May 28, 2024 (the date the legal complaint was filed). Decisively, the court ruled that the interest period is determined exclusively by the content of the enforcement submission, which contained no temporal limitations, thus mandating the inclusion of the full interest duration in the fee calculation.
