Because he accidentally appeared as a teacher in the rating app ‘Lernsieg’, a Carinthian man went to the highest court. But the Supreme Court supports the young entrepreneur (21), who continues to fight for his invention. And pursue new goals again.
It is the third ruling by the Supreme Court in connection with the Lernsieg app, which Benjamin Hadrigan (21) put online four years ago. And the strangest thing. This time it was not a teacher who took legal action against the inventor of the teacher evaluation app, but rather a schoolmaster from Carinthia.
Mention due to careless errors
The janitor accidentally entered the system where students can award stars to their teachers, because he was listed in the ‘Our Teachers’ section of the school’s website. “A careless mistake,” Hadrigan said.
OGH success for young entrepreneurs
The Carinthian sued the young entrepreneur and demanded that his personal data be deleted and 1,000 euros in damages: “The fact that I was judged as a teacher really annoyed me. I thought to myself: “How do I get this?” he argued and was given 500 euros. Nevertheless, the trial continued. So far, the highest court has rejected the school principal’s appeal – another success for Hadrigan and lawyer Florian Knaipp. As early as 2022, the OGH decided that the app was allowed
Looking for a programmer for the second attempt
“I find it exciting how initiatives are suppressed. Thanks to the app, we had about 50 cases, all of which we won,” Hadrigan said. Addendum: “The procedures take a lot of time and cost a lot of money.” Now the man from Klosterneuburg wants to make a second attempt. For this he is feverishly looking for talented programmers.
