AI generated

The court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for legal costs, ruling that the statutory conditions for cost allocation were not met. The plaintiff argued that the defendant's conduct warranted a cost award, but the court found no evidence of procedural misconduct or exceptional circumstances justifying such an order. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the burden of proof regarding the necessity for cost compensation was not satisfied.
