Summons and costs: What now?

Questioner

I have been summoned, but if I pay the full amount, the summons will not be brought to the hearing. There are now costs for the summons, do I have to pay them if the hearing does not take place?

Lawyer

The costs of the summons have already been incurred and will therefore also have to be paid by you.

Lawyer

You must indeed pay the costs for drawing up the summons and serving it by the bailiff. You should not have to pay court fees. Also pay attention to whether any collection costs are justified.
