The court modified the lower court's decision to award 88,000 kr. to the buyer for a defective car purchased from a company. The buyer argued the vehicle was defective at delivery and entitled to rescind the contract, while the seller contended otherwise. The court ruled that the defect justified rescission and ordered the seller to pay damages upon returning the vehicle.
