The text of the law (unofficial translation)
§ 31. Standard compensation for delay (forsinkelse)
What does this mean?
This section is about compensation when the tradesperson is delayed. The parties (part) can agree on a fixed standard compensation, and it must be in proportion to the loss and inconvenience that a delay usually causes a consumer. If nothing has been agreed, you can still claim standard compensation based on what is usual in the industry. The second subsection allows you instead to claim compensation assessed under § 30, for example in cases of gross negligence or dishonest conduct on the part of the tradesperson, or when there are other special reasons. The section is in Chapter V on the service provider's liability for damages (erstatningsansvar).
