The Vestre Landsret upheld the lower court's decision to reject the bankruptcy petition because the statutory filing deadline under Section 81 of the Bankruptcy Act was missed. The appellant argued for relief from the time bar, but the court found no valid grounds to extend the strict procedural limit. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, confirming that the failure to file within the prescribed period rendered the claim inadmissible.
