The Bonn District Court dismissed the plaintiff's claim concerning a one-time, term-independent individual charge for additional services under an individual loan and costs incurred in settling another loan. It held that these charges could be passed on to the borrower through the loan agreement's general terms and conditions. The court ordered the plaintiff to bear the costs of the proceedings. The judgment was declared provisionally enforceable.

Omnilex headnote

BGB §§ 307, 488; one-time charges in loan agreements: A one-time, term-independent individual charge for additional services connected with an individual loan, as well as costs incurred in settling another loan, may be passed on to the borrower through the general terms and conditions of the loan agreement. Such charges are therefore not necessarily invalid under the rules governing standard terms merely because they are separate from interest or do not depend on the duration of the loan.
