The Federal Administrative Court dismissed the objection filed by one of the co-debtors, confirming that the cost assessment is valid and upholding the prior ruling that the plaintiffs bear the costs of the complaint proceedings. In a dispute concerning the internal liability relationships among joint cost debtors in litigation, a plaintiff challenged their demand for payment based on a cost assessment that collected fees from all liable parties in equal shares. The court held that under § 32(1) GKG and § 421 BGB, the plaintiff is a joint debtor for the entire court costs, and where the state treasury is the creditor, its discretion in selecting debtors is governed by administrative directives. Specifically, citing § 8(3) of the Cost Directive for the Courts (KostVfG), the court ruled that the state treasury need not investigate or consider the internal liability ratios among debtors but is entitled to claim costs from all joint debtors in equal parts.

Zum Innenverhältnis der Kostenschuldner

[GRUENDE]

Der Einwand des Klägers zu 4 gegen seine Mithaftung gemäß der Kostenrechnung vom 31. März 2011 ist als Erinnerung im Sinne von § 66 Abs. 1 des Gerichtskostengesetzes (GKG) zu werten.

Die Erinnerung hat keinen Erfolg. Die Kostenrechnung ist nicht zu beanstanden.

Nach dem Beschluss des Senats vom 25. Februar 2011 - BVerwG 8 B 83.10 - tragen die Kläger die Kosten des von ihnen eingeleiteten Beschwerdeverfahrens. Der Kläger zu 4 haftet dabei nach § 32 Abs. 1 Satz 1 GKG als Gesamtschuldner für die Gerichtskosten. Seine Haftung ergibt sich aus § 421 Satz 1 BGB. Danach kann der Gläubiger die Leistung nach seinem Belieben von jedem der Schuldner ganz oder zu einem Teil fordern. Er hat die freie Wahl, den Schuldner auszusuchen und braucht auch auf niemanden Rücksicht zu nehmen.

Ist Gläubiger die Staatskasse - wie im vorliegenden Fall -, dann wird dieses "Belieben" durch die Kostenverfügung (KostVfG) gesteuert, die als Verwaltungsvorschrift die Staatskasse in ihrem Ermessen bei der Auswahl des Schuldners bindet.

Die Kostenbeamtin hat § 8 Abs. 3 KostVfG beachtet. Demzufolge hat sie Kosten nach Kopfteilen von allen Kostenschuldnern eingefordert. Die Staatskasse braucht das Innenverhältnis der Kostenschuldner nicht zu kennen oder gar zu ermitteln (vgl. Hartmann, Kostengesetze, 41. Aufl., Rn. 3 bis 5 zu § 32 GKG).

Die Inanspruchnahme der Kostenschuldner nach Kopfteilen gemäß § 8 Abs. 3 Nr. 3 KostVfG mit der Kostenrechnung vom 31. März 2011 ist weder dem Grunde noch der Höhe nach zu beanstanden.
