The proceedings concern the recovery of fees that a client had paid for services such as love spells, voodoo rituals and bringing back a former partner through white magic. The firm now represents a growing number of people affected who have in some cases spent several thousand euros on similar offers without the promised results actually materialising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the proceedings about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The client turned to a provider who advertised on his website that he could bring back a former partner within a few days through spiritual rituals \u2013 including love spells, voodoo dolls and white-magic rituals to reunite partners. To back up his services, the provider promised, among other things, video recordings of the rituals and ceremonies performed. However, after the client had paid several substantial instalments of fees, the promised success failed to materialise entirely. The provider did not respond to subsequent demands for repayment and reimbursement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kanzlei Cocron is therefore asserting in court on behalf of its client that the underlying contract is contrary to public policy (sittenwidrig) under Section 138(1) of the German Civil Code (BGB) and therefore void. In the firm\u2019s view, a contract for services that objectively cannot be performed or verifiably achieved violates public policy. This applies in particular where a specific result is guaranteed and, at the same time, there is a considerable economic imbalance between performance and consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Typical advertising promises made by such providers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Numerous providers advertise services on the internet under names such as love spell, love spell ritual, voodoo spell, voodoo love ritual, bringing back a partner with white magic or reuniting partners through love magic. The following promises in particular are frequently made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>guaranteed return of the ex-partner within a few days,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a 100 per cent success guarantee for the spiritual work,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>video evidence of ceremonies allegedly performed at spiritual altars,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>use of Gambada power, voodoo dolls, ritual powders or secret leaves,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>decades of experience as a voodoo priest, spiritual master or healer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time they make contact, many of those affected are in a particularly emotionally distressing situation, for example after a separation or the end of a long-term relationship. The promises made therefore often meet great hope and emotional vulnerability. It is not uncommon for further sums to be demanded after an initial payment, together with the claim that the ritual has not yet been completed or requires additional resources to take full effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Legal assessment of the contracts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a legal point of view, contracts for such services are often void because they violate public policy within the meaning of Section 138(1) BGB. This provision declares legal transactions invalid if they offend the sense of decency of all fair and right-thinking people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such a violation may exist in particular if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a result is guaranteed that, according to general experience of life, objectively cannot be brought about,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the provider exploits the emotional state of crisis of the person affected,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>there is a striking disproportion between the promised service and the fee demanded,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>further payments are linked to an alleged guarantee of success or guarantee of return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the contract is void, this generally leads to the payments being unwound. Amounts already paid can be reclaimed on grounds of unjust enrichment under Section 812(1), first sentence, BGB. The objection frequently raised by providers that the rituals were actually performed regularly fails according to case law. What matters is not whether a ritual was performed, but whether the contract is legally valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, there may also be claims for damages under Section 823(2) BGB in conjunction with Section 263 of the German Criminal Code (StGB) (fraud) if the provider knowingly made false statements of fact about the effectiveness of his services in order to obtain payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>D\u00fcsseldorf Regional Court (LG) judgment strengthens the legal position of those affected<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An important precedent was set by the judgment of the Regional Court (Landgericht, LG) of D\u00fcsseldorf of 6 June 2025 (case no. 9a O 185\/24). In these proceedings, a miracle healer was ordered to repay substantial amounts of fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This decision expressly confirms the legal assessment of Kanzlei Cocron. The LG D\u00fcsseldorf ordered a provider of telepathic partner reunification to repay the full amount of EUR 13,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court held that the underlying contract was contrary to public policy under Section 138 BGB and therefore void. A contract for a service that cannot be achieved according to general experience of life \u2013 in this specific case, the telepathic influencing of a third person in order to restore a relationship \u2013 violates public policy. Nor could the provider successfully rely on Section 814 BGB, as the claimant had not been aware that the contract was contrary to public policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This judgment is an important point of reference for numerous comparable cases. These include in particular love spell rituals, voodoo ceremonies to bring back a partner and love magic offers with an express guarantee of success. What all these models have in common is that a result is promised that cannot demonstrably be brought about by objective and verifiable standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What claims can those affected assert?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People who have paid fees or advance payments for love spells, voodoo rituals, bringing back a partner or comparable services can, among other things, have the following claims examined:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>recovery of amounts already paid under Section 812 BGB on the grounds of a void contract,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>damages under Section 823(2) BGB in conjunction with Section 263 StGB in the case of deliberate deception,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>rescission of the contract for fraudulent misrepresentation under Section 123 BGB,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>filing a criminal complaint for fraud under Section 263 StGB in parallel with a civil-law claim.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Note the limitation period<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The limitation period is particularly important. Under Sections 195 and 199 BGB, the standard limitation period is three years. It begins at the end of the year in which the claim arose and the person affected became aware of the circumstances giving rise to the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who, for example, made payments between 2022 and 2024 should therefore have it checked promptly whether a refund can still be enforced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Typical warning signs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every form of spiritual counselling is automatically contrary to public policy or unlawful. It becomes legally problematic in particular when the following features coincide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>promises such as \u201c100% success\u201d, \u201cex-partner back in four days\u201d or \u201cguaranteed success with video proof\u201d,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>high advance payments combined with demands for further instalments,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>considerable pressure to continue paying,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>claims that the ritual has not yet been completed or requires additional financial resources,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a lack of comprehensible evidence after payment,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>communication breaking off once a refund is requested,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>claims of special supernatural abilities that cannot be verified scientifically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In such cases, Kanzlei Cocron recommends seeking legal advice before making any further payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Have you paid money for love spells, voodoo rituals or bringing back a partner?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have paid fees or advance payments to providers of love spell rituals, voodoo ceremonies, love magic or white-magic rituals to bring back a partner and would like to have a refund examined, Kanzlei Cocron is at your disposal.
