Resumo Omnilex

The Obergericht's II. Civil Chamber held that a lawyer appointed under § 29 ZPO/ZH must first be compensated from the court treasury. Because the defendant was not litigating in forma pauperis, he must reimburse the treasury for the amount paid, immediately and irrespective of the outcome of the main proceedings. Any possible recourse against the opposing party is to be decided later together with the merits and the procedural allocation of costs.

Texto completo

§ 29 ZPO/ZH, vom Gericht bestellter Vertreter. Der Vertreter ist aus der Ge- richtskasse zu honorieren.

(aus einem Entscheid des Obergerichts:)

Rechtsanwalt Dr. X wurde vom Gericht bestellt und ist daher zunächst aus der Gerichtskasse zu honorieren. Der Beklagte [Anm.: dem der Anwalt bestellt wurde, weil er sich gegenüber dem Gericht nicht adäquat ausdrücken konnte] prozessiert allerdings nicht im Armenrecht. Er hat der Gerichtskasse das Bezahlte daher zu ersetzen, und zwar sofort und unabhängig vom Ausgang des Verfah- rens. Ob und wie er dafür Rückgriff auf seine Prozessgegner hat, ist mit dem Ent- scheid in der Sache im Rahmen der Prozessentschädigung festzulegen. Das Gericht beschliesst: 1. Für seine Tätigkeit als Vertreter des Beklagten im Sinne von § 29 ZPO wird Rechtsanwalt Dr. X eine Entschädigung von Fr. 4'559.55 aus der Gerichts- kasse ausbezahlt. 2. Der Beklagte wird verpflichtet, den Betrag der Gerichtskasse zu ersetzen.
