Questione giuridica chiave
Whether § 94(1) ZPO permits demanding a court-cost advance already after a notice of action in an acknowledgment action.
Decisione estratta
Yes. In an acknowledgment action, the advance may be required at the outset because the expected course and extent of the proceedings can already be estimated.
Motivazione estratta
§ 94 ZPO must be read in context: the phrase 'all requested procedural acts' covers the procedural steps normally triggered by commencing the action. In acknowledgment actions, the provisorische Rechtsöffnung decision, the subject matter, and the amount in dispute already allow a reliable assessment of the likely procedural effort.
