The Arbitration Court of Sweden dismissed the Swedish Building Workers' Union's claim against Consultant Company S. J. M. AB for breach of the duty to negotiate. The union argued that the company failed to respond to a formal inquiry, violating its procedural obligations. The court ruled that the company's failure to answer the specific inquiry constituted a breach, but the union's broader claim for damages or specific performance was not supported under the circumstances.
