Resumo Omnilex

The court held that, even if a party fails to object within the deadline set for comments on a proposed expert, the late objection is not rendered irrelevant. The missed deadline may, however, be taken into account later when deciding costs. The excerpt does not contain the operative part of the decision.

Sumário Omnilex

§ 93 Abs. 2 VRG; expert challenge and late objection; failure to comply with a judicially fixed deadline does not per se extinguish the party’s right to object to the proposed expert. Where the law does not prescribe a specific expert, the parties must be afforded an opportunity to raise objections, and the recusal rules of §§ 14–16 VRG apply by analogy. Non-compliance with the deadline may instead be considered at the stage of costs under § 15 Abs. 3 VRG (consid. 3).

Texto completo

Aus den Erwägungen:

    • Soweit nicht bestimmte Sachverständige vorgeschrieben sind, gibt das Gericht den Parteien Gelegenheit, gegen den in Aussicht genommenen Sachverständigen Einwendungen zu erheben. Die Ausstandsbestimmungen der §§ 14 bis 16 VRG sind sinngemäss anwendbar (§ 93 Abs. 2 VRG). Im vorliegenden Verfahren ist zu beachten, dass der Beschwerdeführer innert der vom Gericht eingeräumten Frist zur Person von Dr. S keine Einwendungen geltend gemacht hat. Die Nichteinhaltung dieser gerichtlich eingeräumten Frist hat indes nicht die Unbeachtlichkeit des verspäteten Einwandes zur Folge. Allerdings wird sich im Endentscheid die Frage stellen, ob und allenfalls in welchem Mass die Nichteinhaltung der Frist im Kostenpunkt zulasten des Beschwerdeführers zu beachten sein wird (§ 15 Abs. 3 VRG; vgl. Kölz, Kommentar zum VRG des Kantons Zürich, N 31 Vorbemerkungen zu den §§ 19 bis 28 VRG).

Where no specific expert is prescribed, the parties must be given the opportunity to object to the intended expert; the procedural deadline affects only the later assessment of costs, not the substantive admissibility of the objection.

Questão jurídica principal

Whether the missed deadline may be taken into account in the costs decision.

Decisão extraída

Yes, the court noted that the effect of the missed deadline may have to be considered in the final costs allocation against the complainant.

Fundamentação extraída

The court expressly reserved the question of if and to what extent the failure to meet the deadline should be reflected in costs under the VRG.
