Jens Lapidus fulfills the dream – has bought an entire courtroom

Jens Lapidus is not only a legal expert in Efter fem, he is now also the proud owner of his very own courtroom. And that is the merit of the program.
– It is a dream come true, he says.

When Jens Lapidus had participated in Efter fem and given his expert opinion regarding a legal case, it was time for the next part of the program. The Swedish sweep started and this October day it was about the furniture in an old courtroom that was for sale.

I immediately felt that now I am rushing out. Before I had even left the TV4 house, I had made my first bid, says Jens Lapidus.

That’s how he’s going to use the courtroom

The first thing Jens Lapidus has to do is wander around the courtroom. Maybe he should dare to sit in the judge’s place.

I want to feel how it feels to sit there and for once have all the power in my hands, and get to decide, he says.

Then the furniture will be used for interior design in a TV series, and moved to a studio. Although Jens would have liked to have it in the barn in the country.

Interest in the courtroom was great

It wasn’t just Jens Lapidus who bid on the old court’s furniture. During the last minutes of bidding, the price jumped by SEK 25,000. But Jens had made up his mind, and the final bid was his.

It was a wild bidding war in the last five minutes. The final bid was SEK 70,000, he says.

Wanted via Sverigesvepet

No umpire’s stick was included in the purchase and it can be difficult to get hold of one. So now Jens Lapidus asks the viewers for help again and calls for a club on air.

I’ve always liked Sweden’s sweep, but now it has a completely different place in my heart.
