relied on the fact that her statements regarding the in rem security for the payment, which she had made with regard to<br>a jointly intended marriage with the testator in 2016 under<br>, were not credible. In this respect, it was unable to form a conviction on the basis of the factual submissions and the personal interview with the plaintiff   <strong>and thus considered the evidence incumbent on the plaintiff to be lacking.

The background to such a dishonest approach is &#8211; obviously &#8211; not least the potential for blackmail associated with such an approach. This is because the party that finds itself &#8211; in breach of the jurisdiction agreement &#8211; exposed to a foreign lawsuit is regularly forced to take action abroad through lawyers in order to avoid legal disadvantages.
