Rectification of decision on litigation costs

Supreme Court decision 28 January 2019, HR-2019-146-A, (case no. 18-084484SIV-HRET), civil case, appeal against judgment.

Manager for former advocate Jon Eilif, Orrems law firm, Anne Helsingeng (Counsel Anne Helsingeng) v. AIG Europe Limited (Counsel Svein Åge Bergset), Tryg Forsikring, Storetvedt Regnskapsbyrå AS (Counsel Trine Vøien)

Justices: Webster, Normann, Noer, Arntzen, Bergh

A lawyer that had been awarded costs in a case before the Supreme Court, had stated the amount claimed exclusive of VAT in her statement of costs. Her petition for rectification of the costs ruling, so as to include VAT, did not succeed. It did not appear from the statement of costs that the lawyer demanded costs inclusive of VAT. Thus, no such error had been committed that it formed a basis for rectification under section 19-8 of the Dispute Act.
