1A Danish lawyer is asked to advise two parties whose interests already conflict in the same transaction. What is the proper response under De Advokatetiske Regler?

A.Accept both instructions if each client signs a general confidentiality waiver

B.Decline the conflicting representation rather than rely on consent to cure it

C.Accept both instructions if separate fee earners work for each client

D.Wait until one client complains before reassessing the mandates

Explanation: The Danish professional-conduct rules require a lawyer to avoid representation where client interests conflict or there is an evident risk of conflict. Consent is addressed separately in the rules, but it does not make an otherwise prohibited concurrent conflict acceptable.

2A lawyer handling an in-scope property transaction forms a money-laundering suspicion. The information was not received while ascertaining the client's legal position or conducting litigation. Which rule controls the next step?

A.Professional secrecy always prevents any report by a lawyer

B.The lawyer should tell the client that a report will be filed before taking action

C.The reporting duty in Hvidvaskloven § 26 applies, subject to the lawyer-specific exception in § 27

D.The lawyer may report only after obtaining an order from Advokatnævnet

Explanation: Hvidvaskloven § 26 imposes the suspicious-activity reporting duty, while § 27 protects specified information received when ascertaining legal position or in connection with judicial proceedings. The facts place the matter outside that exception, so ordinary confidentiality is not an absolute bar to the statutory report.

3What core fee rule does Retsplejeloven § 126 impose on a Danish lawyer?

A.The lawyer may not demand a fee higher than what can be regarded as reasonable

B.Every legal service must use a tariff fixed annually by the Ministry of Justice

C.The lawyer may charge any agreed amount if the agreement predates the work

D.Only courts, and never Advokatnævnet, may review the reasonableness of a fee

Explanation: Retsplejeloven § 126 states the overarching duty of god advokatskik and prohibits demanding a fee above what is reasonable. An agreement with the client does not remove that statutory standard.

4Opposing counsel has notified a lawyer that the opposing party is represented in the matter. What is the ordinary professional-conduct rule for further substantive contact?

A.Contact is permitted whenever it occurs outside business hours

B.Contact is permitted if a copy is sent to opposing counsel afterward

C.Direct contact is required before making any settlement proposal

D.The lawyer should communicate through the opposing party's lawyer, not directly with the represented party

Explanation: De Advokatetiske Regler directs a lawyer not to contact a represented opposing party directly about the matter. The rule protects the represented person's legal relationship and channels substantive communications through counsel.

5Which statement matches Advokatsamfundet's current minimum professional-indemnity requirement for a practising Danish lawyer?

A.Coverage is optional for lawyers who handle only civil matters

B.Coverage must be at least DKK 2.5 million and include five years of run-off cover

C.Coverage is required only after the lawyer's first court appearance

D.Coverage may exclude liability arising from all client advice

Explanation: Advokatsamfundet states that every lawyer must maintain professional-indemnity insurance of at least DKK 2.5 million. The policy must also provide five years of run-off cover after the lawyer ceases practising.

6Which item belongs in a civil statement of claim (stævning) under Retsplejeloven § 348?

A.Only a request that the court investigate and formulate the claimant's case

B.A final witness schedule with no possibility of later adjustment

C.The claimant's claim, supporting factual and legal grounds, and the evidence to be relied on

D.A draft judgment written from the claimant's perspective

Explanation: Section 348 requires the statement of claim to identify the parties and court, state the relief claimed and the factual and legal grounds, and identify evidence and document proposals as required. The claimant, not the court, must present a procedurally usable case.

7A defendant wants to contest a Danish civil action. What should the statement of defence (svarskrift) ordinarily make clear under Retsplejeloven § 351?

A.The defendant's claim, objections and supporting grounds, together with the evidence relied on

B.Only whether the defendant prefers a morning or afternoon hearing

C.A concession that every fact not supported by an expert report is true

D.Only the names of the parties, because grounds are reserved for trial

Explanation: A svarskrift must give the court and claimant a usable account of the defendant's position, including the result sought, objections and their factual and legal basis, and evidence. Reserving the entire defence until the main hearing would defeat the preparatory process.

8What is a central function of the preparatory court meeting under Retsplejeloven § 353?

A.To replace the parties' pleadings with the judge's preferred theory

B.To decide every disputed fact without hearing evidence

C.To conduct the parties' closing arguments before disclosure is complete

D.To clarify the issues, evidence and further steps needed to make the case ready for the main hearing

Explanation: The preparatory meeting structures the civil case by clarifying claims, grounds, disputed issues, evidence and procedural steps. Its purpose is effective preparation for resolution or the hovedforhandling, not a premature substitute for that hearing.

9At the main hearing, a party seeks to introduce a new claim, ground or item of evidence that was not timely raised during preparation. Which provision specifically governs whether the court may allow it?

A.Retsplejeloven § 348

B.Retsplejeloven § 363

C.Retsplejeloven § 372

D.Retsplejeloven § 126

Explanation: Retsplejeloven § 363 governs new claims, grounds and evidence sought to be introduced at the hovedforhandling after preparation. Section 358 concerns a related but different stage, so it should not be cited as the rule for a request first made at the main hearing.

10Under the current Retsplejeloven § 368, when does an ordinary civil judgment involving an economic value require permission from Procesbevillingsnævnet for appeal to the High Court?

A.Whenever the value is DKK 100,000 or less

B.Only when the value is exactly DKK 20,000

C.When the value is DKK 50,000 or less

D.Every civil appeal requires permission regardless of value

Explanation: The current monetary appeal-permission threshold in § 368 is DKK 50,000 or less. Older materials referring to DKK 20,000 are stale and should not be used for a 2026 assessment.
