Legislator summary

The court ruled in favor of Lofoten, ordering Natec to pay a principal sum of €461,153.60 plus calculated interest and legal costs. Natec had previously paid a provision but failed to justify why Lofoten was not a 'shell company' or to prove the contract's termination date. Consequently, the court found Natec largely in the wrong and declared the judgment immediately enforceable.
