In a legal dispute over a gas bill, the Munich District Court rejected a claim for payment of EUR 4,259.56. The plaintiff had purchased gas from a supplier from March 2020 to March 2021 for the invoiced gas consumption of 63,528 kWh and was supposed to pay the stated amount. However, she did not want to do so. She argued that the gas consumption calculated in her annual bill was far too high. The previous consumption had been much lower and nothing had changed since then.<\/p>\n
However, the district court found that the high consumption in 2021 was based on an underestimate of 10,347 kWh from the previous year, which was subsequently corrected. The gas bill was correct overall, as a subsequent correction of the estimated values is permissible. The plaintiff had not used the opportunity to better distribute the costs by reading the consumption at the end of the first year.<\/p>\n
The defendant (the provider) had therefore made use of an estimate. The district court emphasized that this corresponds to the legally permissible billing mechanisms. The plaintiff was therefore now obliged to pay for the gas actually purchased. However, the judgment of the Munich Local Court (case number: 172 C 12407\/23) is not yet legally binding.<\/p>\n
