Harju District Court delivered a judgment dismissing the claim filed by star-chiropractor Oolo against Katrin Lust.
The dispute was significant in more than one respect, as the court analysed several complex legal questions in its 42-page judgment:

The dispute continues in Tallinn Circuit Court of Appeal.
