When adjudicating in the course of incidental proceedings, the court is often faced with the task of choosing the form of the decision that should be taken in the factual state. Provided for in Art. 15, para. 1 CC discontinuation of the proceedings may take place, inter alia, due to “another reason excluding enforcement proceedings.” As a rule, these are procedural obstacles that prevent substantive examination of the case.
