  i'm not an expert but that is my understanding of this: .

  opinion filed.. (signed published) the judgment against defendants on the negligence count is affirmed.

  the judgment against watchtower on the cause of action for punitive damages is reversed with directions to enter judgment for watchtower on punitive damages.

  But not in all Nordic countries. I think it is only accepted in Denmark. I have also heard that the Netherlands accept beards as well as Ireland... But I know for sure Denmark does. It not acceptable for elders in Norway to have beards and even moustache.
