Joala 5: debt and interest awarded by default, claim drafting costs refused

After personal service of the claim, the defendant did not respond; the court awarded debt, interest and part of the costs claimed by default.

The court granted the apartment association Joala 5’s claim against owner XX by default for debt, accrued late-payment interest and further interest until the principal obligation was fulfilled. After personal service of the documents, the defendant did not respond within the 14 days allowed. The association had requested a default judgment in advance if no response was submitted. The court found the claim legally justified and applied the rules under which the claimant’s factual assertions are treated as admitted by the defendant in a default procedure. This is not an adversarial examination of objections that the defendant did not submit. Of the costs, a 175 euro state fee was awarded. Reimbursement of 60 euros for drafting the claim was refused: the claim was signed by the association’s statutory representative and there was no contractual representative in the case. The judgment is immediately enforceable; it does not confirm actual payment.

Grant the debt and interest claim by default. Award the 175 euro state fee; refuse 60 euros in claim drafting costs because no contractual representative participated in the proceedings. The judgment is immediately enforceable.
