In late April, Education Minister Anna Ekström (S) clearly announced at a press conference that there will be no criticism of students on the streets this year, something that the Director of Public Health, Johan Carlsson, has also stated.
An opportunity for many students who have already had time to reserve and pay for their scales.
Eliza and Axel, who are in the same class at St. Petri Upper High School in Malmö – he only gets 30 percent of the money back.
– We pay 500 SEK per student and receive 150 SEK, says Axel Malmström.
In an email to students, the company Studentflak Söder wrote:
“Of course, we understand the frustration of the situation, legally there is no demand for reimbursement, as this is probably a force majeure on our part since you have already paid and there has been an unforeseen event in which we cannot offer the service or make a full refund. “
“Unsafe legal situation”
The position of the Consumer Agency is that all money should be recovered when travel and events are canceled in the wake of the crown pandemic. This is because it is an unpredictable and unexpected event, i.e. one Force Majeure.
But at the same time, Studentflak Söder claims that it is also one Force Majeure meanwhile
– Basically, it is an uncertain legal situation, but in such a special and unpredictable situation we think you should get the money back, says Adam Dahlin of the Consumer Agency to Kvällsposten.
– If the company says no and you disagree, you should take it for a free trial with the General Complaints Board.
In Eliza and Axel’s class, more than 30 students paid for the apartment.
– It’s really boring. It is understood that the authorities advise against, but it is sad that we do not recover the money and we can use it for other purposes. We must try to make the best of the situation. For us young people, it is difficult to take care of everything by themselves, says Eliza.
The afternoon post has been in contact with Studentflak Söder, who writes in an email:
“Under the terms of purchase from us, customers are not entitled to any type of refund if they are canceled more than 14 days after the written agreement. On the other hand, we have a complete understanding of the person who cancels. This situation affects us all, both the students and us. (…)
This also means that we will refund 30 percent to everyone. However, we cannot make exceptions and pay someone in full. This would mean that all clients could establish the same requirements and we do not have the resources to cover them. In that situation, we cannot favor anyone over others.
But the situation is such, and the recommendations and advice of the various authorities involved only touch that the issue of reimbursement, for those who still wish to proceed with the full claims, should be judged by the court in our opinion, not only by ARN, whose statements are not legally binding. “
Do you want to rent great
As it seems now, the class will be holding a raft on the Malmö canal.
– There was a smart girl in the class who came to hire a raft on the canal. It’s kind of ironic that you can do it and you should drink alcohol there too, says Axel Malmström.
How do you plan to keep your distance then?
– No, a raft of 30 people, there won’t be much distance.
– People respect the spread of the infection, but it seems ironic that Emporia and Svågertorp are open, but that it is a problem that we meet a few in an apartment. Most people find it a bit ridiculous and a double standard.
The Lund researchers present a unique map of the spread of the infection.
