The Vestre Landsret reversed the Byret's decision regarding litigation costs, ruling that neither party must pay the other. The lower court had ordered costs against the plaintiff, but the appellate court found the original assessment inappropriate given the specific circumstances of the civil dispute. Consequently, the court modified the order to ensure no financial burden is placed on either side for the proceedings.
