The ECJ has ruled that the minimum and maximum rates of the fee schedule for architects and engineers are contrary to European law. It is still unclear how the German courts will deal with this.

The Higher Regional Court of Celle has ruled that this also applies to currently pending proceedings.

The Higher Regional Court of Hamm, on the other hand, has awarded the minimum rates in a similar constellation.

We present the judgments in more detail in our video. Architects should enter into a written agreement and not rely on the assumption that the minimum rates will always be earned.

The video was first broadcast on TV Mittelrhein and Westerwald-TV.
