Kernrechtsfrage
Whether Art. 85(3) VAG bars an award of party compensation in disputes over supplementary health insurance under the KVG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The provision only exempts court costs; it does not exclude party compensation.
Extrahierte Begründung
The dispute is of private-law nature under the VVG. The wording and prior case law on the predecessor provision show that only court fees are covered by the cost-free rule. The later ZPO framework confirms that no court costs are levied, without changing the regime for party compensation.
