I purchased equipment from an Austrian supplier that arrived defective, and they refuse a refund or replacement. I want to start a civil action in Austrian courts. What documents and evidence should I gather, and what fees and timelines should I expect?

Your documents should proove your claim. Invoice, pictures from the broken equipement, witnesses. The fees are calculated according to the Austria lawyers' tariff. It depends on the amount of the claim. The court proceedings can take from several weeks to a few years, depending on how your opponent reacts.
