The text of the law (unofficial translation)
§ 2-7. Referral of the case to the court
What does this mean?
If the enforcement officer is not to decide whether debt negotiation is opened, the case is sent to the district court. It must then be so well clarified and prepared that the negotiation can be completed in four months. Usually the case goes to the district court in the municipality where the debtor lives.
If the debtor lives outside Norway, or has address protection, the case is instead sent to the district court in the municipality where the enforcement officer has its office. The section builds on the duty to investigate in § 2-3 and on § 1-4 fourth paragraph on people living abroad. Address protection follows from the Population Register Act § 10-4.
