Art. 85 ZPO · Unbezifferte Forderungsklage

Ist es der klagenden Partei unmöglich oder unzumutbar, ihre Forderung bereits zu Beginn des Prozesses zu beziffern, so kann sie eine unbezifferte Forderungsklage erheben. Sie muss jedoch einen Mindestwert angeben, der als vorläufiger Streitwert gilt.

Nach Abschluss des Beweisverfahrens oder nach Auskunftserteilung durch die Parteien oder Dritte setzt das Gericht den Parteien eine Frist zur Bezifferung ihrer Klage. Das angerufene Gericht bleibt zuständig, auch wenn der Streitwert die sachliche Zuständigkeit übersteigt.
