... meldete sich bei Aufruf der Sache:
Fuer den Antragsteller und Frau Rechtsanwaeltin xxx Rechtsanwalt yyy in Untervollmacht
Die Antragsgegnerin in Person und Frau Rechstanwaeltin xxx.

Sehe ich das richtig das sich Rechtsanwalt yyy in Untervollmacht fuer die Sache des Antragstellers und Frau REchtsanwaeltin xxx gemeldet hat?

petitioner and Ms. XXX, attorney at law (two different persons)
Explanation:
...as in: "Mr. YYY, attorney at law, appearing in substitute power of attorney for the petitioner and his/her counsel, Ms. XXX, attorney at law."

As far as I can tell, only Mr. YYY is appearing on the side of the petitioner; otherwise, it would have been Ms. XXX who would have appeared for the petitioner. Mr. XXX is representing not only the petitioner, but is also the petitioner's counsel.

This is often the case, if the trial is being held away from the petitioner's domicile. For example, if my client sues someone in Munich, I will employ the services of an attorney in Munich to appear at the trial (which is usually where the defendant is located). I will do all the preparatory work and the attorney in Munich will just appear to the trial and file those motions that I would have. Afterwards, the attorney in Munich will let me know how it went and I'll have to give the attorney in Munich a portion of my fees.

If the judge is cool, my client will not have to appear in court (it would be a long trip and would drive the costs up). I can't tell whether or not the defendant actually HAD to appear (this is sometimes the case), but even if not, the defendant can appear - together with counsel, of course.

This is a very common practice and is meant to save costs and long trips. I hope that made sense...

  -> Thank you, Julia. :-)
agree  Adrian MM. (X): In Eng. & Wales, the divorce parties are called Petitioner & Respondent/your 1st-tier/ & Appellant + {again} Respondent on 2nd-tier appeal. In US, Plaintiff & Defendant? In Untervollmacht: on delegated authority as a correspondent lawyer.

  -> It should have read "respondent" above (in the U.S. too; "plaintiff" and "defendant" are usually only used in the first tier - except in certain cases, such as divorce). Very good eye - wow! I also like yours - that is the essence of it. Thanks Tom. :-)
