Mops-Debakel in Münster: Dispute over the animal reached Higher Regional Court!
In the Münsterland, more precisely in Ahlen, there is currently a bizarre legal dispute over a pug called Edda, which is now being negotiated in the Higher Regional Court in Hamm. The plaintiff, who acquired the dog from the city of Ahlen at the end of 2018, made serious allegations against the city. She wants to assert a five -digit sum, since the dog, she claims, already suffered from several diseases when handing over, even though it was sold as healthy.
These legal disputes are the result of a long and complicated procedure that began with the purchase transaction. The dog owner, which Edda has now renamed Wilma, is difficult to hit due to the animal's health problems. At the negotiation on Monday in Hamm, an expert who examined the dog at the time of handover should testify. His statements will be decisive because they may be able to influence the outcome of the procedure.
The legal background
The legal competition had already failed in April 2023 before the Münster district court. There, the plaintiff was only awarded a compensation of around 226 euros for vaccination costs. But that wasn't enough for her, which is why she went to appeal and now has the hope that the Higher Regional Court will give her right.
The negotiation also has the potential to be an example of similar cases in which buyers of animals feel disadvantaged by incorrect information. The question of how transparent information about the health of animals must be in the sale is in the room.
In the best case, the judgment of the Higher Regional Court could be announced on the same day of evidence. This would be an exciting turn in the long -lasting dispute over the sick pug. It remains to be seen how the situation goes out, but the discussion about animal welfare and the right handling of animal sale will remain relevant.
