44. This decision of the President of Breda has been reversed by the recently published decision of the CoA of 's-Hertogenbosch, of 25 June 1981 NJ 1983 308 note Schultsz, considering that Article 27 does not require the summons to mention that the damaged parties intend to file a civil claim. The possibility, that the damaged parties themselves notify their intention in some way, was not considered by the CoA.
