Disputes



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 conduct all civil cases before the Danish courts. As a rule, all legal proceedings start in the district court and can, with a few exceptions, be appealed to the High Court. If a case can be brought before the High Court, or if a third-instance grant is obtained, a case can be appealed to the Supreme Court.

Cases before the High Courts and the Supreme Court require a special right of audience. CO:PLAY's litigation lawyers have the right to appear before both the High Court and the Supreme Court.

The litigation process itself can be both long and resource-intensive, and it is therefore crucial that the case is cut down and processes streamlined to avoid unnecessary resources and costs.

Arbitration

CO:PLAY's litigation lawyers have many years of experience in conducting cases before arbitration boards and arbitration institutes. In particular, we have experience with arbitration in IT cases and other cases where the focal point is technology, media and entertainment.

Optimally, our advice starts even before a dispute arises, where we can assist in drafting clauses and risk assessments to prevent disputes from arising and provide our clients with the best possible protection if this is unavoidable.

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

Injunction proceedings

CO:PLAY's litigation lawyers conduct injunction proceedings before the Danish courts, e.g. when rights are infringed and there is a need for a quick and effective legal remedy to protect these rights. Several of our litigators have conducted a large number of injunction cases and have extensive experience in the strategic planning of the use of the remedy and the process.

Prohibition cases start in the District Court or the Maritime and Commercial Court and can be appealed to the High Courts and in exceptional cases also to the Supreme Court.

An injunction case must usually be followed up by a civil court case where a court must confirm that there was a basis for the injunction.
