ComputeBaseFee walked the bracket table indefinitely, so a Streitwert of
e.g. €100M produced fees far above what German law actually permits. §34
GKG / §22(2) RVG cap the table at €30M — above that the fee stays at the
30M-row value.
Surgical fix: clamp streitwert to GermanFeeStreitwertCap (30M) at the top
of ComputeBaseFee. Applies to all GKG/RVG fee versions (2005, 2013, 2021,
2025); UPC value-based fees use a separate code path (lookupUPCValueFee
against UPCFeeSchedule.ValueBased) and stay uncapped — UPC has its own
statutory tier structure with explicit 50M and unlimited brackets.
Tests: cap holds across all four versions for both GKG and RVG; values
below 30M continue to scale as before; UPC remains uncapped.
Spot check (GKG / RVG base, 2025 schedule):
1M EUR → 6278.00 / 5553.50
5M EUR → 23078.00 / 19553.50
30M EUR → 128078.00 / 107053.50
50M EUR → 128078.00 / 107053.50 (capped)
100M EUR → 128078.00 / 107053.50 (capped)
1B EUR → 128078.00 / 107053.50 (capped)
Standard appeal fee per Rule 6 EPC-Gebühren v2024-04-01 was raised from
2.255€ to 2.925€; reduced fee per Rule 7a(2)(a-d) was raised from 1.880€
to 2.015€. Both stale in calc.EPAFees, surfaced wrong amount on
/tools/kostenrechner and /tools/gebuehrentabellen EPA tab.
Reduced-fee tier is updated for data accuracy; UI surfacing of that tier
is deferred per m's call (out of scope for this task).
Three correctness bugs from the t-paliad-101 QA sweep, fixed together since
they all change displayed/saved numbers users rely on.
B1 — Kostenrechner UPC GESAMTKOSTEN double-count
ComputeUPCInstance was setting InstanceTotal = effectiveCourtFee +
recoverableCeiling. The R.152 recoverable-cost cap is the OPPOSING
side's worst-case loss-of-suit liability, not the user's own cost —
folding it into GESAMTKOSTEN inflated the UPC total under a label
that means "your outlay," and the DE LG/OLG/BGH branches don't add
any opponent estimate. Drop it from InstanceTotal; the ceiling
still surfaces as its own RecoverableCeiling line item.
Live pre-fix on paliad.de (Streitwert 100k, UPC 1. Instanz only):
instanceTotal = 52600 = 14600 court fee + 38000 R.152 ceiling
Post-fix:
instanceTotal = 14600 (court fee only); RecoverableCeiling stays 38000
B3 — Court-determined Termine emit trigger date as a real-looking date
Zwischenverfahren / Mündliche Verhandlung / Entscheidung all live in
paliad.deadline_rules with duration_value=0 and parent_id=NULL, so
Calculate() classified them as IsRootEvent and emitted the trigger
date as their own DueDate. Worse, RoP.151 "Antrag auf Kostenentscheidung"
parents off inf.decision and chained 1 month off the placeholder ->
bogus deadline that the UI rendered as real.
Fix: classify a zero-duration rule as IsCourtSet (not IsRootEvent)
when primary_party = 'court' or event_type ∈ {hearing, decision,
order}. Track court-set rule IDs and propagate IsCourtSet downstream
to any rule whose parent is court-set, so RoP.151 also surfaces as
court-set rather than a fabricated date. Save-modal already greys
out IsCourtSet rows so the "Gerichtsbestimmte Termine ohne Datum
werden übersprungen" footnote becomes truthful again.
Live pre-fix on paliad.de (UPC_INF, trigger 2026-04-29):
Zwischenverfahren / Oral / Entscheidung -> dueDate 2026-04-29
Antrag auf Kostenentscheidung -> 2026-05-29 (bogus, +1mo from trigger)
B6 — Fristenrechner save flow stored rule code in TITLE
Frontend was concatenating "RoP.023 — Klageerwiderung" into the
title because deadlines had nowhere else to put the citation, and
the /deadlines REGEL column ended up showing "—". Add migration 032
with a paliad.deadlines.rule_code text column, plumb it through
CreateDeadlineInput / insertTx, drop the now-redundant r.code AS
rule_code JOIN alias on the list query (the deadline owns its
citation), and render f.rule_code on the project-detail deadlines
table + /deadlines events list + deadline-detail page.
Build, vet, and tests all clean. New unit test
TestIsCourtDeterminedRule pins the B3 discriminator across the
event_type / primary_party combinations seen in migrations 012 + 031.
