Question juridique clé
Whether Art. 85(3) VAG bars an award of party compensation in disputes over supplementary health insurance under the KVG.
Solution extraite
No. The provision only exempts court costs; it does not exclude party compensation.
Motifs extraits
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.
