The Vestre Landsret overturned the First Instance Court's decision to dismiss the case and remanded it for the service of summons. The procedural error occurred because the initial dismissal failed to properly address the requirement for formal service of legal documents. Consequently, the court ordered the case to be returned to the lower court to correct this procedural defect before substantive review can occur.
