Byrettens kendelse blev ændret således, at kærendes begæring om, at retten under hovedforhandlingen tiltrædes af to sagkyndige medlemmer med entrepriseretlig fagkundskab, blev taget til følge

[DOKUMENT] Afgørelse (2 sider) Vestre Landsret holdt den 23. oktober kl. 10.30 møde på tingstedet i Viborg.

Som dommer fingerede landsdommer John Lundum.

V.L. B—1939—09

Løgten Murer- & Entreprenør AIS mod Part A

og Part B

Fremlagte bilag:

— kæreskrift med bilag — brev af 23. september fra Retten i Århus — udskrift afretsbogen fra Retten i Århus (BS 11-291012008).

Ved kendelse af 4. september 2009 har byretten bestemt, at retten ikke skal tiltrædes af sagkyndige under hovedforhandlingen.

Landsdornmeme John Lundum, Elisabeth Mejnertz og Lene El. Mortensen (kst.) har be handlet sagen.

Landsretten afsagde

K e n d e I s e: Sagen vedrører efter parternes påstande og anbringender omfanget afekstraarbejder, for længelse af afieveringsfdsten og pligten til at betale dagbøder.

Da sagen således indeholder flere entrepriseretlige spørgsmål, skønnes entrepriseretlig fag kundskab at være af betydning for sagen.

Herefter, og da indkærede ikke har fremsat protest mod sagkyndiges dommeres medvirken under hovedforhandlingen, tager landsretten kærendes anmodning til følge, jf retsplejelo vens § 20.

Thi bestemmes:

Byrettens kendelse ændres, således at kærendes begæring om. at retten under hovedfor handlingen tiltrædes af to sagkyndige medlemmer med entrepriseretlig fagkundskab, tages til følge.

Kæreafgiften skal betales tilbage.

Sagen sluttet.
