Kernrechtsfrage
Whether Lucerne public bodies must provide a cost advance in proceedings under §§ 123 Abs. 1 ZPO and 271 StPO.
Extrahierter Entscheid
As of immediately, no cost advance may be requested from Lucerne public bodies within the meaning of § 1 VRG, except for expert opinion costs.
Extrahierte Begründung
Although cost advances may generally be requested from plaintiffs, counterclaimants, and private complainants, the specific practice for Lucerne public bodies is to dispense with such advances, while charging costs after the proceedings end.
