Dispute resolution



Disputes may arise in business matters and will be an unwelcome disturbance for the parties to the dispute, which can be both costly and resource-intensive in general.

It will often be the best solution for disputes to be resolved outside the court. When this is not possible, CO:PLAY has an experienced team of litigators who can conduct cases in arbitration in Denmark or abroad, in all courts in Denmark, including the Supreme Court and by all relevant boards, e.g. the Domain Complaints Board, the Press Board and the Consumer Complaints Board.

Our areas

Lawsuits

CO:PLAY's litigation lawyers can handle all civil cases in the Danish courts. As a rule, all lawsuits start in the district court and, with a few exceptions, can be appealed to the high court. If a case can be brought before the High Court, or if a third instance permit is obtained, a lawsuit can be appealed to the Supreme Court.

Cases before the High Courts and the Supreme Court require special leave to appeal. CO:PLAY's litigation lawyers have leave to appeal before both the High Court and the Supreme Court.

The litigation process itself can be both lengthy and resource-intensive, and it is therefore crucial that the case is tailored and processes are streamlined so that unnecessary resources and costs are not incurred.

Arbitration

CO:PLAY's litigation lawyers have many years of experience in conducting cases before arbitration tribunals and arbitration institutes. In particular, we have experience with arbitration in IT cases and other cases focusing on technology, media, and entertainment.

Ideally, our advice begins before a dispute arises, where we can assist with drafting clauses and risk assessments to prevent disputes from arising and to best protect our clients if this is unavoidable.

We advise on all aspects of arbitration cases, and it is crucial for us to tailor the cases to meet our clients' financial and time requirements.

If you would like to know more about conducting arbitration cases, please contact Niels Schou-Andreasen or Michael Brandt.

Injunction proceedings

CO:PLAY's litigation lawyers handle injunction cases in the Danish courts, including cases where rights have been infringed and there is a need for a quick and effective legal remedy to protect those rights. Several of our litigation lawyers have handled a large number of injunction cases and have extensive experience in the strategic planning of the use of legal remedies and the process.

Injunctions start in the district court or the Maritime and Commercial Court and can be appealed to the high courts and, in very special cases, also to the Supreme Court.

An injunction must normally be followed up by civil proceedings, in which a court must confirm that there were grounds for issuing an injunction.
