§ 2-4. Assistant

To give the debtor guidance as mentioned in § 2-2 and § 6-1 fourth paragraph third sentence, and otherwise to assist the enforcement officer, the enforcement officer may appoint an assistant in accordance with regulations issued by the King in Council. The assistant's remuneration for work and expenses is set by the enforcement officer in accordance with the regulations.

What does this mean?

The enforcement officer can appoint an assistant who gives you guidance and otherwise relieves the enforcement officer. This is an option, not a duty. How the arrangement is to work follows from regulations (forskrift) issued by the King in Council (Kongen), and the enforcement officer sets the assistant's remuneration for work and expenses within the regulations.

The section builds on the duty to give guidance in § 2-2, parts of which the assistant can take over. It also refers to guidance when a debt settlement (gjeldsordning) is changed, which is governed by § 6-1. The assistant can therefore also be used in that context.
