Reimbursement of fees: no extension of written procedure by opportunity for further written submissions.
In appeal proceedings (without cross-appeal), the written procedure ends with the submission of the statement of response by the respondent pursuant to R 235, R 239.1 RoP. The written procedure is not extended if the parties are allowed to file further written submissions. Such further written submissions belong to the interim procedure. As a consequence, in this stadium, the reimbursement of court fees under R 370.9 (b) RoP after a withdrawal of the appeal is limited to 40%.
