I received a civil judgment from a Danish court, but I was hospitalised and missed the appeal deadline. Is it possible to get an extension or have the deadline reinstated, and what documents would I need?

Yes it should be possible to still make an appeal if you Can document your illness and why you were unable to do it before the deadline. Time however now very essential, and you need to file for the appeal as soon as possible with the explaination and document presented before the court of appeal. i Can assist you in this. Please contact me if needed. kind regards Rasmus Nilsson Børresen, Attorney at Law
