Résumé Omnilex

The decision states that, although cost advances may generally be required from plaintiffs, counterclaimants and private complainants under §§ 123 Abs. 1 ZPO and 271 StPO, this practice is to be abandoned immediately for Lucerne public bodies within the meaning of § 1 VRG, except for expert opinion costs. Such bodies are to be billed only after the proceedings. If they succeed, they may recover those costs from the opposing party under § 18 KoG.

Regeste Omnilex

§§ 123 Abs. 1 ZPO, 271 StPO; § 1 VRG; § 18 KoG; cost advances for public bodies: Lucerne public bodies are to be exempted from advance payment of court costs, save for expert opinion costs. The court distinguishes between advance payment and ultimate cost liability: while advances may ordinarily be demanded, public bodies are to be invoiced only after conclusion of the proceedings, with reimbursement claims against the opposing party arising upon success. The rule is justified by practice continuity with summary enforcement proceedings and applies immediately (consid. not stated).

Texte intégral

Entsprechend den §§ 123 Abs. 1 ZPO und 271 StPO können vom Kläger, Widerkläger und Privatkläger Kostenvorschüsse einverlangt werden. Bei den luzernischen Gemeinwesen im Sinne von § 1 VRG ist indessen ab sofort auf die Einholung eines Kostenvorschusses (ausgenommen für Expertisenkosten) zu verzichten. Nach Abschluss des Verfahrens ist diesen Gemeinwesen - wie dies in den Rechtsöffnungsverfahren bereits üblich ist - aber Rechnung zu stellen. Sofern die Gemeinwesen obsiegen, haben sie dann gegenüber der Gegenpartei entsprechend § 18 KoG Anspruch auf Ersatz dieser Kosten.
