The plaintiff’s claim concerned liability of a telephone connection holder for premium-service use attributed to the holder’s minor children. The Bocholt District Court dismissed the claim and ordered the plaintiff to bear the costs of the proceedings. The judgment was declared provisionally enforceable; the plaintiff could avert enforcement by providing security equal to 110% of the amount to be enforced, unless the defendant first provided security in the same amount.
