KESR-ABC

If affected parties do not have the money to pay for proceedings, they can apply for free administration of justice (URP) (Art. 117 ZPO, Art. 29 para. 3 BV). They do not have to pay any procedural costs if the application is granted. The conditions for this are that the applicants cannot pay the costs of the proceedings themselves and that the proceedings do not appear to have no prospect of success. With the free administration of justice, those affected are provided under certain circumstances with a lawyer for legal support. The free administration of justice does not automatically mean that costs are waived. If the person concerned has assets again, the authority can reclaim the costs.
