CASE WAS CANCELED DUE TO REJECTION
The first hearing of the lawsuit filed by a healthcare worker in Germany against the German biotechnology company BioNTech at the Hamburg State Court for the alleged side effects of the Kovid-19 vaccine has been cancelled. The first hearing of the case was to be held today.
According to the news in the German press, the spokesperson of the court announced that the first hearing was canceled because the plaintiff’s lawyer requested a refusal.
It was stated in the news that the refusal was asked to decide on the request by a panel of judges instead of a judge due to the importance of the case. It was noted that the court will consider this request in a few days.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The lawsuit filed by the law firm Rogert & Ulbrich on behalf of the healthcare worker exercising his right to anonymity under German privacy law was due to begin today at the Hamburg State Court.
Claiming that symptoms such as pain in the upper body, swelling in the arms and legs, fatigue, sleep disturbance and brain fog appeared after the vaccination, the health worker demanded a compensation of 150 thousand euros for the bodily harm caused by the vaccine.
Plaintiff also sought compensation for unspecified pecuniary damage.
