Call it when a claim reaches `dunning_action_recommended` (the webhook tells you) and before you send a decision. - Germany (`jurisdiction: DE`): a Mahnbescheid — court fee under the GKG, no lawyer through the platform (`lawyer_allowed: false`). - Austria (`AT`): a Mahnklage — a lawyer is required when `lawyer_required` is true (`streitwert`: 5 000 EUR or above; `no_org_cert`: the creditor has no ERV certificate), and then the decision must name one. Answers `400` when no Mahnverfahren is available for the debtor (a debtor outside the EU or in Denmark). ## OpenAPI ````yaml get /openapi/claims/{claim_id}/lawsuit-decision/estimate openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: incaseof.law API version: 0.1.0 description: > Draft OpenAPI blueprint for future implementation. Update paths as endpoints evolve. ## Webhooks incaseof.law can push events to a partner-controlled HTTPS endpoint whenever a claim's lifecycle changes. Today the single supported event type is `claim.collection_stage_changed`.
