AI generated

The court dismissed the employee's claim for legal costs incurred during the proceedings. The employee argued that the employer's failure to produce certain documents necessitated expensive witness testimony, while the employer contended that standard discovery rules were sufficient. The court ruled that without specific evidence of disproportionate expense directly caused by the employer's conduct, the claim for cost reimbursement could not be sustained.

s. 86, 87 af Arbejdsloven: The court may award costs only if the party's conduct unjustifiably increased the opponent's expenses; mere disagreement or standard procedural delays do not justify cost awards.
