An order requiring the party failing to make the disclosure to pay the other party�s or opposing party�s reasonable expenses, including attorney�s fees and costs, caused by the failure. ������������������������������� (iii) Continuing Duty to Supplement and Disclose. Should an action for presentation of accounts, or for the production of a schedule of assets, or for a statutory declaration to be made in lieu of an oath, be consolidated with an action for the surrender of whatever the defendant owes under the legal relationship giving rise to the legal dispute, the exact information on the performance being claimed by the plaintiff may be reserved until the accounts have been presented, the schedule of assets has been produced, or the statutory declaration in lieu of an oath has been made.

(2) The same shall apply where the plaintiff has the right to demand that an authority issue a directive in the event that the defendant does not provide the security within the deadline imposed on him, as well as in the case provided for by section�2193�(2) of the Civil Code (B�rgerliches Gesetzbuch, BGB) governing the stipulation of a deadline by which a condition is to be met.

(2) Until the closure of the hearing subsequent to which the judgment will be handed down, the plaintiff may petition, by extending the claim, and the defendant may petition, by bringing counterclaims, that a legal relationship that has become a matter of dispute in the course of the court proceedings be acknowledged by judicial ruling if the decision on the legal dispute depends, either wholly or in part, on such legal relationship existing or not existing.
