Costs not legal – First judgment against park rip-offs in the event of property damage

“Costs for measures that arise regardless of the specific disruption of property cannot be charged to the interferer,” stated Maximilian Kemetmüller, responsible lawyer at the VKI. “Since the towing company was unable to name a specific amount that was incurred as a result of the disruption of property in question, the court was unable to determine any damages that could be compensated.” As regards the legal fees for the letter of formal notice, the court states that these are to be reimbursed in principle, but only in the amount of 67.58 euros including taxes and costs for the driver’s license, according to the VKI.
