Legislator summary

AI generated

The Vestre Landsret overturned the Byretten's decision to reopen the case without requiring security for costs. Although Part A argued his absence was justified and he appeared the next day, the court held that such circumstances do not exempt him from the security requirement under Section 367 of the Act on Procedure in Civil Matters. Consequently, the lower court's ruling was modified to mandate security for the costs imposed on Part A.

Kæreskrift. Brev at 7. februar 2008 fra Retten i Århus, 1. afdeling. Retsbog at 21. januar 2008 fra Retten i Århus, 1. afdeling, (sag nr. BS 63-1-3118/2006)

Sagens øvrige bilag var til stede.

Den 21. januar 2008 har byretten truffet afgørelse om genop tagelse uden krav om sikkerhedsstillelse.

Landsretten afsagde

K e n d e 1 s e:

Hverken Part A's oplysninger om årsagen til hans forsinkelse eller den omstændighed, at han mødte samme dag — —2—

men efter at der var afsagt udeblivelsesdom — kan medføre, at genoptagelsen af sagen ikke betinges af, at Part A stiller sikkerhed for de sagsomkostninger, der er pålagt ham, jf. retsplejelovens § 367, stk. 1, 3. pkt.

Landsretten ændrer derfor byrettens beslutning, således at der som betingelse for genoptagelse af sagen stilles krav om sikkerhedsstillelse for de sagsomkostninger, der er pålagt Part A .

Thi bestemmes:

Byrettens beslutning ændres, således at der som betingelse for genoptagelse af sagen stilles krav om sikkerhedsstillel se for de sagsomkostninger, der er pålagt indkærede Part A

.

Kæremålets omkostninger ophæves.

Kæreafgiften skal betales tilbage.

Sagen sluttet.
