In the case, it was established that it is illegal not to accept cash, and that Cutters has broken the law for seven years by not doing this. news had no basis for determining that this practice is illegal. We apologize for the misrepresentation. In the same case, law professor Hans Fredrik Marthinussen at the University of Bergen was interviewed. In the first version of the case, it did not appear that Marthinussen believes that it is perfectly legal not to accept cash, as long as customers are made aware of this before they shop at a business. This should have been included in news’s case, and a statement about this was included in an updated version of the article.
