Sag om hvorvidt dommeren er inhabil

[DOKUMENT] Retsbog med kendelse (1 sider) Retten i Helsingør

Den 20. maj 2008 kl. 13:04 blev retten sat på dommerkontoret af Dommer.

Der blev foretaget i ikke offentligt retsmøde sag nr. BS 1-1781/2007:

Sagsøger 1 & Sagsøger 2 Adresse 1 By mod Sagsøgte Grundejerforening Adresse 2 By

Ingen indkaldt eller mødt.

Der fremlagdes skrivelse af 15. maj 2008 fra advokat Jens Gottlieb.

Retten besluttede at berigtige retsbogen, således at "sagsøgtes anbringender"ændres til "sagsøgers anbringender".

Retten afsagde sålydende

KENDELSE

På det forberedende retsmøde den 5. maj 2008 fremsatte jeg et forligsforslag efter besigtigelse af skellet og det omtvistede egetræ.

Jeg finder ikke, at en tilkendegivelse som denne om sagens sandsynlige udfald som led i forligsmægling under sagens forberedelse i sig selv medfører inhabilitet.

Da der ikke ses at foreligge andre forhold, der kunne rejse tvivl om min fuldstændige upartiskhed i sagen, jf. herved retsplejelovens§ 61, bestemmes

Jeg viger ikke mit sæde under hovedforhandlingen af denne sag.

Retten hævet.
